Vacuum stethoscope attached to a tape recorder. A simple device for monitoring respiration and pulse rate. 1977

N Ginott

A simple apparatus consisting of a vacuum stethoscope attached to an ordinary cassette tape recorder is described. This can be used for monitoring respiration and pulse rate during paediatric anaesthesia, head and neck surgery and resuscitation of the newborn.
