External four-channel tocography during delivery.

OBJECTIVE: A four-channel tocographic technique was developed in order to improve present knowledge of spatial uterine motility. METHOD: Fifty-four women were monitored during labor. Four pressure transducers were attached in a square around the umbilicus. RESULTS: The origin of uterine contractions was generally determined to be in the upper right segment of the uterus. The rate of operative deliveries was decreased in the case of predominant upper right origin of labor. Most of the contractions with clear propagation patterns originated on the upper right side, continued to the left and then spread to the lower right part of the uterus. The highest relative intensity was also measured on the upper right side. CONCLUSION: Predominant upper right origin of labor may be important for unassisted or spontaneous delivery.

[Significance of the site of uterine contraction for labor progress and duration of pregnancy].

A four-channel topographic technique was developed in order to improve information about spatial uterine motility. 54 women were monitored during delivery. Four pressure transducers were attached in a square around the umbilicus. Most frequently the origin of labour could be determined in the upper right segment of the uterus. The rate of operative deliveries was decreased in case of predominant upper right origin of labour. The majority of contractions with clear propagation patterns originated at the upper right site, continued to the left and then to the lower right part of the uterus. The highest relative intensity was also measured at the upper right site. Predominant upper right origin of labour may be important for undisturbed delivery. The probability of a preterm delivery is increased in case of an upper right origin of labour.
