That is why you are the nurse teaching the residents what the correct method is. Typically, the dose is increased until labor progresses normally with adequate contractions that occur at 2- to 3-minute intervals and last 60 to 90 seconds, with a peak intrauterine pressure of 50 to 60 mm Hg and a resting tone of 10 to 15 mm Hg (i.e., uterine activity equal to 150 to 350 Montevideo units). 'Adequate contractions >200 Montevideo units [MVUI per 10 minutes for 2 hours. Active phase arrest was defined as arrest with ruptured membranes and cervical dilation 6 centimeters or more with 4 or more hours of adequate contractions (more than 200 Montevideo units/10-min interval) or 6 or more hours of inadequate contractions without cervical change. Perform cervical exam as indicated • Assess dilation, effacement, station, presentation and position I think the discrepancy is because the ACOG did a recent study revising the definition.
