A member asked:
Will a pediatric stethoscope hear just as well as a full-sized one, on an older child, for home use?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: I use a pediatric stethescope on all my patients, infants and children. On older kids you may need to listen in more places to hear all you want but it works for all.
