Stethoscopes

The stethoscope is a medical device used primarily to amplify the sounds of the heart and lungs. The device allows the human ear to hear the clarity, speed and rhythm of heart and lung sounds and to detect sounds that may indicate a suspicious or specific problem. The stethoscope can also be used to test the sounds of the intestinal tract and arterial blood supply, and is also used for auscultatory blood pressure measurements to make Korotkoff sounds audible. It is important to use the right equipment, as the internal sounds of the body are in different frequency ranges.
Stethoscopes can be broadly classified into general, cardiological, infant and paediatric and electronic. In cardiology, a first-class acoustic sound is used to assist the physician. The devices used in infant and paediatrics are similar to those used in adults, with a significant difference in the size of the chest head. The electronic stethoscope amplifies breathing and heart sounds many times, making even weak sounds more audible, even in noisy environments. The most modern devices also have bluetooth functionality, recording and storing patient information.
