What is rattling inside the chestpiece of my stethoscope?
Q. I inherited a stethoscope from a nurse , & inside of the doublesided chestpiece I hear a rattling sound. Like a tiny bead or piece of metal is loose & floating around in it. Is it broken , or is this a a part necessary in aiding the acoustics of the stethoscope?

A. maybe something is loose..normally a stethoscope is fixed...means no rattling sound...bec. you use it to listen to heart or breath sounds,which should be clear and no added sounds.

What type of stethoscope is good for students?
Q. i am a new respiratory care student in the fall 09 semester. we are required to buy a stethoscope but i would rather buy my own than get the one from the company the school works with since it doesn't state what brand it is. i would feel more comfortable knowing what my money is going into and getting a better quality product. theirs is $30 and i was looking to spend at or below $50. the school doesn't want us getting a real expensive one because they are too sensitive to learn with. thanks!

A. Them most important part of any stethoscope is the person to whom it is connected. With rare exception, any stethoscope, even the super cheap ones, will give you most of the information you need. An excellent stethoscope is useless to an untrained listener, and a skilled physician can use most stethoscopes (unless you are listening for very subtle signs) For taking BP's, ANY stethoscope will work.

A. I love my Littmann Lightweight II S.E. Stethoscope It comes in many colors that match our uniforms it is lightweight so that when we have long shifts they don't feel heavy across our necks. Many of my fellow nursing students have the same model. It has great sound as compared to some of my friends stethoscopes or the lame ones we had in our lab during first semester! Ug. The bell had 2 sides and can turn for lungs or cardiac. I love it, I am sure you will be happy with whatever one you choose.

If you want something more elaborate, check out the instructions for homemade stethoscopes below. A quick web search can find you more.

A. I'm not sure you would be able to pick up the heartbeat of the chick, but then again, it may be possible. When the chick begins to hatch, it will first pick its way into the air sack. It should then start making cheeping noises, and within the next twenty four hours it will begin to break through the shell. If you candle the chick and see that it's beak is through the air sack but has not broken through the shell yet, you can poke a TINY hole in the portion of the shell where the air sack is. What this does is make sure the baby doesn't run out of air before it begins to break through the shell. This method isn't often recommended if you only want the strongest and toughest to survive the hatching. If you are hatching the chick for… [cont.]

They want to make sure you have experience with it before you get out into clinicals since you will need to have quite a bit of knowledge before you are ready for clinicals. studentdoctor.net has forums so you can look up your particular school and ask questions/see other answers talk to others in medical school and get their perspective-realize background and the school itself can give different answers to what are strong/weak points and what people thought was easier/harder.

I think that the Littmann Classic II or the Lightweight might be less money. It all depends on what you are using it for. You could check eBay for one, or try to buy one secondhand, but beware of counterfeits!
