What are the Different Types of Pediatric Stethoscopes?
There are several types of stethoscopes designed specifically for pediatric use:
1. Infant Stethoscopes: These have smaller chest pieces to fit the tiny thoracic cavities of infants. 2. Pediatric Stethoscopes: These are slightly larger than infant stethoscopes and are designed for toddlers and young children. 3. Electronic Stethoscopes: These can amplify sounds and are beneficial for detecting subtle abnormal sounds in children.
