Well, ever nurse should be able to use a regular stethoscope. I merely want to "add" nc ability, not amplify breathe/heart sounds. If the mic/amp/headphone portion fails, then by default the stethoscope behaves as if it had no electronics.Some of the new grads and students can't do a BP without the electronic versions. Yes it makes it easier, but as students I don't think it should be permitted. My wife has been practising as an RN on a critical care floor for 10 years+. I thought by reducing background noise only, she may have an easier time hearing what she needs to. Only amplify the ambient sounds out of phase and adjust to reduce to minimal intrusions. I just can't imagine the electronics on the linked stethoscope being worth $300. |
