This resource focuses on the assessment of newborns particularly in the context of surgical deliveries such as Cesarean sections. It outlines the goals and criteria for evaluating different types of Cesarean deliveries, the importance of understanding APGAR scoring for newborns, and provides a structured approach for assessing clinical scenarios. The document is divided into sections that cover key vocabulary related to maternity care, classification of Cesarean deliveries (elective, planned, emergency), and a practical application of APGAR score calculation across several newborn assessments. Additionally, it emphasizes critical thinking regarding escalation of care in surgical situations and expects detailed clinical justifications for the decisions made during assessments. The ultimate aim is to ensure safety and appropriate care for both mother and newborn, leveraging defined frameworks for efficient clinical reasoning.
