• Tips for choosing a stethoscope:

• Any good quality (cardiology) Littman or Tycos stethoscope, two examples below:

• Littman Master Cardiology

• Littman Cardiology IV

• Regardless of manufacturer:

• Tubing length 22” (longer tubing attenuates the sounds)

• Must have both diaphragm and bell (or tunable chest piece to provide equivalent)

• Dual tubing contained within a single tube

• Avoid:

• triple headed chest piece

• electronic enhancement

∙ Professor’s Note: “We need students to bring a stethoscope for the PE skills labs in Foundations, but it is ok to borrow one for those sessions.”
