  • Title: Contraction stress testing with nipple stimulation.
    Author: Copel JA, Otis CS, Stewart E, Rosetti C, Weiner S.
    Journal: J Reprod Med; 1985 Jun; 30(6):465-71. PubMed ID: 4020788.
    Abstract:
    The contraction stress test (CST) is used widely as a measure of fetoplacental respiratory reserve. With contractions traditionally induced by intravenous oxytocin, the test has been limited in its use by time, expense and patient discomfort. In a prospective evaluation of the effectiveness of nipple stimulation for the production of uterine contractions, a successful CST was obtained in 94% of the attempts, with a mean total test time of 12 minutes.
