Monitoring Ambulant Toco
Chapter 4 - Monitoring
1. Adjust the Toco baseline on the monitor to reset the display and
trace to 20.
2. Ensure that the Toco transducer stays in position after the patient
has moved and that you have not lost the uterine activity displayed
on the monitor and obtained on the fetal trace.
3. If the uterine activity signal is lost or unclear, reposition the
transducer while the patient is standing and if necessary, tighten
the belt to stop the transducer slipping.
Warning
While the patient is ambulating, the chance of losing the signal or
detecting artifacts is higher than during stationary monitoring. For
example, the frequency of the patient's walk may be detected.
