title: Fetal panting: yet another response to the external vibratory acoustic stimulation test.
abstract: Fetal panting at a rate of 119 respiratory movements per minute, persisting for 40 minutes after external vibratory acoustic stimulation, was noted in a fetus at 33 weeks' gestation. Subsequent fetal outcome was good. The possible underlying pathophysiologic mechanism is discussed.
