Before revision: Example If, for instance: uterine pressure above baseline were 50 mmHg during the 10 minute period of measurement 3 contractions occurred total Montevideo units (MVUs) would be equal to 150 MVUs (50 * 3) Montevideo units are calculated by subtracting the baseline uterine pressure from the peak contraction pressure for each contraction in a 10-minute window and by adding the pressures generated by each contraction .
After revision: Example If, for instance: Peak uterine pressure amplitudes were 50 mmHg during the 10 minute period of measurement 3 contractions occurred total Montevideo units (MVUs) would be equal to 150 MVUs (50 * 3) Montevideo units are calculated by obtaining the peak uterine pressure amplitude and adding the peak contractionwithin a 10-minute window pressures generated by each contraction .
