What does a Toco transducer do?
The TOCO transducer is a tocotonometer which operates on the strain gauge principle to measure displacement. The central section of the TOCO transducer is depressed by the forward displacement of the abdominal muscles during a contraction. It is used for assessing frequency and duration of uterine contractions.
What is corometrics 170 series?
The GE Corometrics 170 Series is a fetal monitor that can be used in both medical offices and hospitals. The 170 Series of Fetal Monitors is a lightweight monitor that can effectively and accurately monitor both the mother and baby at the same time.

What is corometrics?
The CorometricsTM 250cx Series maternal/fetal monitoring system is a full antepartum/intrapartum fetal monitor that includes innovative features that helps you deliver a high quality birthing experience and enhanced patient care.
How many Toco is a contraction?
Table 1
| Variable | Mean | Range |
|---|---|---|
| Duration of monitoring (min) | 137 | 48.6 – 345.9 |
| IUPC contractions | 38.3 | 8 – 95 |
| EHG contractions | 37.7 | 8 – 94 |
| Toco contractions | 26.4 | 1 – 64 |
What number is high for contractions?
Contractions can be described by frequency, duration, strength (amplitude), uniformity, and shape. During normal labor, the amplitude of contractions increases from an average of 30 mm Hg in early labor to 50 mm Hg in later first stage and 50 to 80 mm Hg during the second stage.
How do you read a Toco fetal Monitor?
When you’re looking at the screen, the fetal heart rate is usually on the top and the contractions at the bottom. When the machine prints out graph paper, you’ll see the fetal heart rate to the left and the contractions to the right. Sometimes it’s easier to read printouts by looking at them sideways.
What Toco reading is active labor?
The intensity of Braxton Hicks contractions varies between approximately 5-25 mm Hg (a measure of pressure). For comparison, during true labor the intensity of a contraction is between 40-60 mm Hg in the beginning of the active phase.
What do strong contractions look like on monitor?
The red indicator on the bottom tracing shows the strength of a contraction, measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). 6 The higher the number, the stronger the contraction.
How high does Toco get during labor?
During normal labor, the amplitude of contractions increases from an average of 30 mm Hg in early labor to 50 mm Hg in later first stage and 50 to 80 mm Hg during the second stage.
What is the difference between the corometrics 170 and 172?
At the same time, the monitor comes with a 9-crystal Pulsed Doppler Ultrasound technology that comes with a wide beam to help clearly detect the fetal heart rate. Along with monitoring TOCO and fetal movement with high and low heart rate alarms. The Corometrics 170 is a monitor for a single baby where the Corometrics 172 is used for twins.
