Do you hear what you see? Utilizing phonocardiography to enhance proficiency in cardiac auscultation
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Perspectives on Medical Education"
DOI: 10.1007/s40037-020-00646-5
Abstract: Introduction Cardiac auscultation skills have proven difficult to train and maintain. The authors investigated whether using phonocardiograms as visual adjuncts to audio cases improved first-year medical students’ cardiac auscultation performance. Methods The authors randomized 135… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s40857-017-0109-4
Abstract: Ambulance sirens sound very loud for transportation safety. However, loud sounds interfere with the auscultation of lung sounds. This study proposed an auscultation system that includes (1) an ACER Aspire 17 notebook as a server;… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/tmech.2016.2603444
Abstract: During aeromedical patient transport, acoustic noise levels in excess of 90 dB make auscultation with a stethoscope virtually impossible. Existing approaches to address this noise in literature have relied on the use of either passive… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/imj.15971
Abstract: Previous research suggested cardiac auscultation is underdeveloped in physicians‐in‐training. Developing proficiency requires wide exposure to signs, practice and feedback, which may not regularly occur in clinical environments. Our novel pilot study using a mixed‐methods approach… read more here.
