What is the adequate amount of Montevideo Units (MVUs) for labor?

The adequate amount of Montevideo Units (MVUs) for effective labor typically falls between 200-250 MVUs. MVUs are a measurement used to assess uterine activity during labor by quantifying the strength and frequency of contractions over a 10-minute period. This level indicates sufficient uterine contraction strength to facilitate cervical dilation and promote effective labor progress. A range of 200-250 MVUs suggests that contractions are strong and frequent enough to assist in the progression of labor, which is crucial for a successful vaginal delivery. Therefore, the selection of a range of 200-250 MVUs is considered optimal for monitoring labor effectiveness.
