 | | The stethoscope (Greek στηθοσκόπιο, of στήθος, stéthos - chest and σκοπή, skopé - examination) is an acoustic medical device for auscultation, i.e. | | | Before the stethoscope was invented, doctors placed their ear next to the patient's body in hopes of hearing something. | | | The chestpiece usually consists of two sides that can be placed against the patient for sensing sound – a diaphragm (plastic disc) or bell (hollow cup). |

| | Thus, the first stethoscope (from the Greek stethos for "chest" and skopein for "to examine") was created. | | | Some patients felt uncomfortable having these hard objects pressed against their bodies, and even more troublesome was the scope's rigidity that forced both doctor and patient to bend and turn in a variety of positions to conduct an examination. | | | Others said the stethoscope was inconvenient to carry and questioned whether it was really more effective than directly applying their own ears. |

| | When this opening was placed against the chest of the patient, the physician, by placing his ear against the opposite opening, could hear the sounds of breathing and of heart action. | | | Stethoscopy (also called auscultation), used together with percussion (light tapping of the chest), is a fundamental diagnostic measure in medical practice. | | | Many diseases of the heart and lungs, and sometimes of the stomach, blood vessels, and intestines, can be recognized early by skillful use of the stethoscope. |

| | For an instrument that was invented in 1819, the stethoscope still provides physicians with a wealth of medical information—provided they feel comfortable using it. | | | In a study published today in the American Journal of Medicine, Barrett concluded that medical students improved their stethoscope skills dramatically if they listened to certain digitally recorded soundtracks that mimic the distinctive vibrations produced by various valve problems and other cardiac conditions. | | | By listening for subtle changes in sounds produced in the chest, they can detect heart murmurs, valve problems, or various lung conditions long before symptoms emerge. |
