A contraction stress test is a test performed during pregnancy to verify whether or not the unborn babyâs heart is strong enough to withstand labor. It uses drugs or nipple stimulation to make the uterus temporarily contract in order to replicate labor contractions.
What is a Stress Test? A stress test is an assessment done in two parts. In a very controlled situation, the heart is stressed using either exercise on a treadmill or a chemical injection, depending on the status of the individual getting the test. Heart rate, rhythm, and blood pressure are continuously monitored throughout the entire exam.
