Abstract
In 1953, Smith applied his test of uterine sensitivity to oxytocin to establish the effectiveness of inducing labour by rupturing the fetal bladder. Gublein, Baumgarten (1960) and others tried to use this test to determine uterine sensitivity without amniotomy. The degree of sensitivity, according to these authors, indicates the readiness of the uterus for spontaneous contractions and determines the effectiveness of birth stimulation procedures. Given the practical importance of this test for inducing labour, especially in cases of doubtful gestation, we aimed to validate this test under clinical conditions and give it an objective assessment.
