Uterine tachysystole is a condition of excessively frequent uterine contraction s during pregnancy. Because contraction counts are often measured over periods of ten minutes but averaged over periods of thirty minutes, there can be slight differences in how the cutoff is calculated. Generally it is defined as more frequently than once every two minutes. Although definitions may vary among studies, most use the terms defined by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists 1999a to describe increased uterine activity as follows Uterine tachysystole is defined as 6 contractions in a 10 minute period. Uterine hypertonus is described as a single contraction lasting longer than 2 minutes. Uterine hyperstimulation is when either condition leads to a nonreassuring fetal heart rate pattern.
