Medical Equipment
Before doctors can treat patients, they must
find out exactly what is wrong. Learning what is wrong is called making a
diagnosis. To become skilled diagnosticians,
doctors need much training and experience, and they alson need health equipment.
A physical examination of the patient may
provide clues to what is wrong. One of the most important parts of the
examination is done with a stethoscope. It is used to listen to the sounds of
the heart valves as they open and
close.
To measure blood pressure a doctor uses an
instrument called a sphygmomanometre. A doctor can decide whether blood pressure is low, normal, or high.
Clinical thermometres are made in two
different forms. One type is for taking the temperature by mouth or by armpit,
and the other one for taking the temperature by rectum.
