=== Contraction assessment === * '''Frequency''': beginning of one contraction to the beginning of the next. * '''Duration''': beginning to end of one contraction. * '''Intensity''': by palpation (mild feels like the tip of the nose, moderate like the chin, firm like the forehead) or in Montevideo units with an intrauterine pressure catheter. * '''Resting tone''': the uterus must relax fully between contractions; that is when the placenta refills and the fetus is oxygenated. * '''Tachysystole''' is more than 5 contractions in 10 minutes averaged over 30 minutes. If oxytocin is infusing and tachysystole or a nonreassuring fetal heart rate occurs, '''stop or decrease the oxytocin''' as the first action.
