To use a stethoscope, you will want to start by familiarizing yourself with the different parts of the device. You should be able to identify the diaphragm, which is the part that you put on your ear and listen to the patient’s heart. The other two components are the bell and the tubing. Make sure that all three pieces are connected properly before beginning to listen to your patient. Once you have done this, place the diaphragm against your patient’s chest, over their heart. Then move the bell over the area where the sound is coming from. Finally, turn the volume up or down depending on the intensity of the sounds. By using these steps, you can accurately monitor the patient’s heartbeat.
