	stethoscope - Encyclopedia.com
		stethoscope [Gr.,=chest viewer], instrument that enables the physican to hear the sounds made by the heart, the lungs, and various other organs.
		The earliest stethoscope, devised by the French physician R. Laënnec in the early 19th cent., consisted of a slender wooden tube about 1 ft (30 cm) long, one end of which had a broad flange, or bell-shaped opening.
		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.

	Noise-Immune Stethoscope Helps Medics Hear Vital Signs in Loud Environments
		November 27, 2006--A new type of stethoscope enables doctors to hear the sounds of the body in extremely loud situations, such as during the transportation of wounded soldiers in Blackhawk helicopters.
		Modern electronic stethoscopes have raised the maximum tolerable noise level to 90 decibels to 95 decibels by replacing the ear pieces with loudspeaker inserts that provide a better seal with the ear canal and replacing the tubing with electrical cables that do not pick up acoustic noise.
		Where an acoustic stethoscope yields a "lub-dub" sound from a heartbeat, with the first beat being the strongest, an ultrasound stethoscope will yield a "ta-da-ta" pattern, with the second beat being the strongest.

		The single stethoscope is a straight wooden or metal tube with a flattened bell, the surface of which is usually covered with ivory or bone at the end which is placed against the body of the patient, and a small cup at the other to fit the ear of the observer.
		In the "binaural" stethoscope, which has the advantage of flexibility, the tube is divided above the bell into two flexible tubes which lead to both ears.

		Stethoscopes are most commonly used to listen to heart, lung and bowel sounds.
		In hospitals, when stethoscopes are not being used, they're generally hung by their earpieces so that the tubing can dangle freely.
		Even an inexpensive stethoscope can prove invaluable in telling you if your bowels are gas-filled and hyperactive, your heartbeat weak and irregular, or your lungs gunky and wet from a chronic cold.

		The fetal stethoscopes that emerged usually had a very wide or flaringbell and a wide earplate, which prevented the stethoscope from rocking on the abdomen of the mother during fetal auscultation.
		Stethoscopes for children tended to be shorter than those for adults and were probably used as either pediatric or obstetrical stethoscopes.
		The original stethoscope, a rigid wooden cylinder with a funnel, has evolved into the modern instrument which has two chest pieces, a shallow bell and a stiff diaphragm, connected to the ear pieces by 25-30 cm of tubing.

		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.
		Electronic stethoscopes make it possible for several clinicians to listen at the same time to the sounds emitted by a particular organ.

		This could be placed inside to complete the cylinder (enabling him to better hear the heart and signs related to the voice), or removed, leaving a funnel-shaped opening which served as a bell chest piece and also enhanced sounds of respiration.
		Thus, the first stethoscope (from the Greek stethos for "chest" and skopein for "to examine") was created.
		Others said the stethoscope was inconvenient to carry and questioned whether it was really more effective than directly applying their own ears.
