Abstract

We wish to expand on our previous publication, “Investigation of Stethoscope Technology for En Route Care,” in which our team discusses the findings from assessing 2 stethoscope devices and their implications for patient care in the en route care (ERC) environment. In the previous study, we reported the feasibility of device 2 (ThinkLabs One digital stethoscope located in Centennial, CO) based on ground level testing in a simulated C-130 environment and the pursuit to investigate its use in in-flight testing. These results are complete and ready for publication.
