title: [Breast stimulation for labor induction in a stress test].
abstract: We performed 100 nipple stimulations for a contraction stress test at the Women's Hospital of the University of Basel. The stimulation was done unilaterally with a breast pump; each nipple was stimulated for 15 min. 33 of 100 patients had three or more contractions in 10 min (successful test), 60 of 100 patients had two or more contractions; 12 women had no contractions. Prestimulation contractions have an influence on the success rate. 50% of patients in the group with prestimulation contractions and only 26% in the group without prestimulation contractions had a successful test. The acceptance was good.
