First sentence: In 1992, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommended that the term "perinatal asphyxia" be reserved for newborn infants with persistently low Apgar scores, severe acidosis, and manifestations of early symptoms of injury to the brain and systematic organs.
