Differential auscultation of the acutely ill patient
Annals of Emergency Medicine
|June 1, 1985
Abstract:
The differential stethoscope is a unique instrument that assists in rapid evaluation of pulmonary problems in the acutely ill patient. Simultaneous auscultation of homologous lung segments eliminates the problem of variability of breathing rate and pattern that must be confronted in conventional auscultation.
