(n.) An instrument used in auscultation for examining the organs of the chest, as the heart and lungs, by conveying to the ear of the examiner the sounds produced in the thorax.
(v. t.) To auscultate, or examine, with a stethoscope.
Example Sentences:

(2) The response of stethoscopes and chest microphones depends on the impedance of the sound source, which must therefore have the same impedance as the body, and must emit a signal related to the sound intensity in the body when no instrument is applied.
(3) So in this extreme case our nuclear stethoscope-like RKG-RCG method alone may be satisfactory for staging and screening of coronary ischaemic heart disease (IHD) patients.

(7) With the help of a child's stethoscope and a tuning fork of 128 Hz, the sound conducted by an injured limb was compared with that by the uninjured limb.
(8) The importance of frequency components outside the bandpass of the stethoscope is stressed, especially in terms of the possibility of yielding more clinical information and, perhaps, additional clues above the origin of the Korotkoff sounds themselves.
(9) Twenty-one anesthesia clinicians evaluated the stethoscope and responded to a multiple-choice preference questionnaire.
(10) Three readings by two observers using a double stethoscope were first compared to each other to determine a standard and then averaged and compared to readings obtained using the P4.
(11) One hundred men with proven fertility who presented for vasectomy consultation were examined for testicular size and presence of a varicocele, including examination with the Doppler stethoscope for the presence of subclinical varicocele.
(12) The two listening pieces used for correlation and comparison were the bell and the diaphragm of the stethoscope.
(13) As he checks the woman’s heart with a stethoscope, he explains exactly what is about to happen to her – the nurses will hook her up to an EKG machine, among other procedures – and gets the woman to lie down, still muttering at the original nurse but pliable.
(14) Clinical examination was done by two investigators, who used a stethoscope to detect TMJ sounds.

(18) The purpose of the study was to determine whether mothers could assume more responsibility in decision-making with regard to their children's asthmatic attacks after basic technical guidance in the use of the stethoscope and in the interpretation of auscultatory findings.
(19) There is also the possibility of testing with the stethoscope.
(20) A relatively high number of fatal complications during hysteroscopy, where carbon dioxide was used as the uterine distension medium, plus a recent report on heart embolism during dog experiments with venous carbon dioxide infusion, audible by simple stethoscopic surveillance during the infusion, prompted the present study.
