Determining the Validation of Homegrown Stethoscope Simulator for Cardiopulmonary Training

Abstract

Background: The education of health care professionals is a major contributor for patient safety. Advocates of simulation-based education, claim a particularly important role for physically examine the stethoscope simulator, instructed on how to use it, and then au its cardiopulmonary sounds. A sur asked to rate their responses using a 5 (2), neutral (3), agree (4), and strongly agre Results: Experts in cardiology, respiratory medicine and respiratory care agreed upon the characteristics and attributes of this stethoscope simulator and the observed average of the “global assessment” of the stethoscope simulator was acceptable. of this type was approximately 100 USD. Conclusion: Primary evidence suggests that this homegrown stethoscope simulator is a useful tool that can be integrated into bedside teaching and clinical skill lab to facilit learning cardiopulmonary auscultation for undergraduate learners. skills
