OCT abbreviation

[edit]

"An oxytocin challenge test (OCT) is sometimes performed afterwards". This PDF: http://www.stanfordhospital.com/pdf/shcApprovedAbbrev041103.pdf

Says that this abbreviation is dangerous and should not be used. I wonder why? Maybe the article should be changed not to offer this abbreviation.

I would assume that it is the worry that it could be mistaken for Oxygen, but I'll try and look further into it. violet/riga (t) 10:04, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It is the standard abbreviation used when we refer to the procedure. jsfouche (talk) 13:50, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
