A paediatric stethoscope is used to listen to the sounds of the lungs, heart, intestines and bowel sounds in paediatric patients.
• Which side of stethoscope is high frequency?
  Many stethoscopes have a separate bell and diaphragm. The bell is most effective at transmitting lower frequency sounds, while the diaphragm is most effective at transmitting higher frequency sounds.
• What is the purpose of a dual head stethoscope?
