 Hi, welcome to Nursing School Explained. Today I'm going to review the Littman Classic II stethoscope, which I think is one of the best stethoscopes out there for the price and the quality. So in general, of course, it comes in all kinds of different colors. The tubing length can also be adjusted, so depending if you're tall or short or working with small or big patients, you can have that at a different length. The ear pieces here are always flexible, so they're more comfortable to use, and then they also usually give you a second set of flexible ear pieces or one of the more harder ones, so you can choose whatever ear pieces work best for you. Then it has a single flexible tube, which is just a really good quality, and then as for the bell and diaphragm here, it is reversible. So to use the bell, you would flip it around and then you can see this little opening here rather than it being closed, and so now this would allow me to listen with the bell. And the bell we use for more low-pitched sounds, such as heart murmurs as well as vascular sounds, where the bigger part here is the diaphragm, and the diaphragm typically we use for breast sounds as well as bowel sounds, which are typically more high-pitched. And then just make sure that you flip that part around again so that you're listening to the correct side. When you're using it, you can place it in your ears, always make sure that the ear pieces go towards your nose so that it forms this nice seal, and then gently tap each surface and see where you can hear it. And be very gentle because it's projects, so it can be quite uncomfortable if you tap it too much. So right now I'm on the diaphragm. If I flip it over, I can just check it on the bell of the setoscope here. So just make sure that you check this before you use it, otherwise you might not hear anything and be wondering if the patient has absent breast sounds when they're actually there and you didn't just didn't flip your setoscope. In general, this setoscope probably cost you somewhere between 80 and 90 dollars depending on where you buy it. And the color, of course, different colors can be a little bit more expensive. You can also get it engraved. So that's another option that most setoscope sellers will offer. But in general, this is probably my favorite. I have had this setoscope probably for about 12 or 15 years. It has served me really well. Keep in mind, I also have my name tag on here to make sure that I know which one is mine because let's be honest, a lot of us have the same setoscopes and we don't want to get it mixed up because it is a tool that we use every day. So in general, this is probably the one that I would recommend for the clinical setting depending on how much money you have to spend. And maybe you can just ask for a good present when you start nursing school rather than getting this on graduation because in the two or three or four years that you're spending in school, it will serve you well and it will be well worth the money and it will make your study and do clinical so much easier. Thanks for watching this video on the setoscope review. Also check out my other videos on specifically setoscopes and the different types and then also the clinical playlist where I have a bunch of different skills as well as videos on assessments and so forth. Thanks for watching Nursing School Explained. See you soon.
