Then adding up those numbers generated by each contraction within a 10-minute window. For example, five contractions occurred, producing peak pressures of 55, 50, 45, 65, and 50 mm Hg, respectively. The resting tone of the contractions is 10. 55-10 = 45 50-10 = 40 45-10 = 35 65-10 = 55 50-10 = 40 45+40+35+55+40 = 215 MVUs
The conclusion of this study revealed that there is a 6% decrease in fetal partial pressure of oxygen every 8 minutes during uterine tachysystole. [1] The fetus’ oxygen saturation levels begin to deplete within about 5 minutes of the onset of uterine tachysystole and their hypoxic states exacerbated until the UT was able to be stopped. [ 1 ]

Most commonly, Braxton Hicks contractions are weak and feel like mild cramping that occurs in a localized area in the front abdomen at an infrequent and irregular rhythm (usually every 10-20 minutes), with each contraction lasting up to 2 minutes.
Presence of contractions that occur more frequently than every 2 minutes or last longer than 90 seconds in the presence of late decelerations. Requires repeat testing on following day. [1] Equivocal—Unsatisfactory: Fewer than three contractions occur within 10 minutes, or a tracing quality that cannot be interpreted. Requires repeat testing ...
Uterine hyperstimulation or hypertonic uterine dysfunction is a potential complication of labor induction.This is displayed as Uterine tachysystole- the contraction frequency numbering more than five in a 10-minute time frame or as contractions exceeding more than two minutes in duration. [1]
Interval: the amount of time between the end of one contraction to the beginning of the next contraction. The NICHD nomenclature [ 14 ] defines uterine activity by quantifying the number of contractions present in a 10-minute window, averaged over 30 minutes.
The contractions are very rapid, occurring as often as 150 times a minute, and may persist during sleep. The condition usually appears in adults and can last indefinitely. People with palatal myoclonus usually regard it as a minor problem; some complain of an occasional "clicking" sound, a noise made as the soft palate muscles contract.
