basic knowledge of Stethoscope. What is stethoscope? Who discovered it? How

Stethoscope is a common device which we come to see in our
life whether we go for a medical checkup to a doctor or when we fall ill or
some other reasons. The first thing any doctor does with a patient is to
examine him/her with stethoscope. So we can say that a stethoscope is a medical
device which is used for listening to sounds from heart, lungs, or other organs
or other internal sounds of human body or animal body. It typically has a small
disc shaped resonator that is placed near the chest and two tubes connected to
ear pieces. It is often used to listen to lung and heart sounds. The
stethoscope was invented in France 1816 by Rene Laennec at the Necker Enfants
Malades Hospital in Paris. Laennec called his device stethoscope which means
chest scope and is used to examine the chest of the patients. Stethoscopes
considered as the symbol of healthcare professionals almost all the doctors or health care
professionals are come to see with a stethoscope hanging around their neck.
Stethoscopes usually have earpieces which aid comfort and create a seal with
the air and a diaphragm which is main part of a stethoscope because when we
create pressure on the diaphragm than it will sends the vibrations of the body
to the ear pieces.
Types of Stethoscopes:
·

Stethoscopes: They are common stethoscopes from which we all are familiar. They
operate on the sound from chest piece via air filled hollow tubes to the
doctor’s ears. One problem with these types of stethoscopes is that the sound
level is very low. We all have seen these stethoscopes in our daily life.

problem of low sound level by acoustic stethoscopes. These types of
stethoscopes electronically amplifying the body sounds. Some electronic
