A Littmann stethoscope. David Littmann (July 28, 1906 – January 1, 1981) was an American cardiologist and Harvard Medical School professor and researcher. [1] The name Littmann is well known in the medical field for the patented Littmann Stethoscope reputed for its acoustic performances for auscultation.
Laënnec's contributions were refining the procedure, linking sounds with specific pathological changes in the chest, and inventing a suitable instrument (the stethoscope) to mediate between the patient's body and the clinician's ear. Auscultation is a skill that requires substantial clinical experience, a fine stethoscope and good listening ...
An auscultatory gap, also known as the silent gap, [1] is a period of diminished or absent Korotkoff sounds during the manual measurement of blood pressure.It is associated with peripheral blood flow caused by changes in the pulse wave. [2]
A 3D-printed stethoscope is an open-source medical device meant for auscultation and manufactured via means of 3D printing. [31] The 3D stethoscope was developed by Dr. Tarek Loubani and a team of medical and technology specialists. The 3D-stethoscope was developed as part of the Glia project, and its design is open source from the outset.
The first drawing of a stethoscope (1819) [6] A modern stethoscope Laennec is said to have seen school children playing with a long piece of solid wood in the days leading up to his innovation. [ 7 ] The children held their ear to one end of the stick while the opposite end was scratched with a pin, the stick transmitted and amplified the scratch.

The ratio of (a) total received power, i.e., the signal to (b) the noise-plus-distortion power. This is modeled by the equation above. [2] The ratio of (a) the power of a test signal, i.e. a sine wave, to (b) the residual received power, i.e. noise-plus-distortion power. With this definition, it is possible to have a SINAD level less than one.
