  1. How To Select The Right Stethoscope For PatientCare?

  2. Introduction A stethoscope is an acoustic medical device that is used to listen to the internal sounds of the body. It has a small disc shaped resonator that is usually placed against the chest and two tubes are connected to earpieces. It is most commonly used to listen to the heart and lung sounds. It can also be used to listen to the intestines and blood flow in the arteries and veins. Depending on your requirements, there are a variety of stethoscopes to select from. Cardiology stethoscopes are designed to deal with all types of heart sounds and have properties to minimize the sound interference.

  3. Types of Stethoscopes There are a number of specialized stethoscopes available in the market: Pediatric stethoscopes Adult care stethoscopes Cardiology stethoscopes Electronic stethoscopes EMT/EMS stethoscopes Anesthesiologist stethoscopes

  4. How to Select the Right Stethoscope? What type of environment you will be working in? This is the most important consideration. Will this stethoscope be used in a quiet home care setting, or an emergency room or an ambulance? Understanding your requirements can have a huge impact on the type of stethoscope you select. It will determine whether you need one with sound amplification or if a standard one will work. If you work in a loud environment, the one with the sound amplification features will work the best.

  5. How to Select the Right Stethoscope? What type of patients you will need to care for? If you are going to be working with children and adults or patients with heart problems, it is best to select a stethoscope that is designed for those jobs. For example selecting a pediatric stethoscope would make sense if you are caring for child – patients. If you require listening to really low frequency sounds, then it’s better to select a dual headed stethoscope over a single headed one with just a diaphragm.

  6. How to Select the Right Stethoscope? Budget considerations when buying a stethoscope Especially for home care, budget considerations are important too. Luckily for stethoscopes, the expensiveness does not determine which one is the best. A number of factors besides the sound quality and oscillation affect the price such as it’s weight, sound components and the brand.

  7. Conclusion It is hence important to determine its purpose and then decide the price you are willing to pay for it. If you choose a stethoscope made of strong lightweight materials, you must also be willing to pay extra for it. Overall, look at the material (plastic, steel, aluminum), ear buds, tube length & thickness, quality / durability, weight, bell and/or diaphragm, electronic components, maker / brand.
