Electronic Stethoscope as a Tool Supporting Physician’s Work During the Covid-19 Pandemic

Abstract

The study presents a cordless stethoscope, which is a tool supporting physician’s work in time where direct contact with the patient is difficult or impossible. The study presents various types of available stethoscopes and their design. The stethoscopes presented in the article are important tools in physician’s work particularly now, at the time characterised by the limited possibility of patient examination. Difficulty in the examination of patients can also result from the necessity of using personal protective measures by medical personnel. The stethoscope helps monitor the health of patients who cannot leave the place of their stay.
