Thompson Score Asphyxia is a score of the severity of the asphyxial event and is calculated by the presence of the following signs and symptoms: cyanosis, hypotension, bradycardia, and acidosis. It is used to evaluate how severe an asphyxial event was and can also predict which patients are at risk of developing long-term complications from the event.
