Littmann Classic III vs Littmann Cardiology IV | 5 Minute Stethoscope Review

[@thefortunemusic]

As an anesthesiology resident I strongly suggest to stick with the classic 3 and use the extra money to buy something nice for yourself

[@nikolai3620]

Depends on your work environment.

[@twinklexerso]

Disagree

[@leonardodtc4847]

I’m a veterinarian, usually working with horses, the classic iii couldn’t do it for me at all, cardiology iv was a big improvement.

[@wanderingpanda6556]

Thanks for the vid! Not a nurse, but a paramedic. The "challenging" part, for me, is attending in a moving ambulance; or when outside on scene at an MVI. The 3 is great but the 4 allows me to hear just a bit more over the sirens, radio chatter, engine noise, things rattling around etc etc. BP in those situations is not fun lol. I didn't have my own 3, just one I found in the station so technically my first steth is the 4. Glad I just ate the cost and splurged a bit!

[@nicholassolntzeff9232]

I’m a current medical assisting student and I currently use a series 2 stethoscope. I have a difficult time hearing the sounds of the heart beat when doing blood pressure. I do hear it but it is very faint. Thanks to your video, I’m investing into the series 4. Can’t wait to get it and hear the difference

[@saida817]

How is the cardiology 4 works for you?

[@nicholassolntzeff9232]

@@saida817 Been using it for over two years now.

[@annmeier3945]

This review was so helpful. I've used a cheaper stethoscope to get me to my final semester, and I start as an extern 3 for my final semester in cardiac medical, where I was also offered a position for after graduation. Going to bite the bullet and go for the IV.

[@JorgeFCR2502]

"Cardiology" models are more sensitive. Currently, two top USA quality scopes are Littmann Cardiology IV and the ADC Adscopes Cardiology 601, 602 & 606. Both brands have fantastic acoustics.

[@michellblackwell7629]

Thank you for sharing! I was having trouble deciding which one I should go with, I appreciate the video!!

[@brandyswider5051]

Thanks for this! I am starting my Accelerated Bsn this fall and my husband surprised me with the Littman cardiology IV. I thought it was maybe too advanced and was considering returning for the cardiology III. However, after this video I am going to keep and be thankful he splurged 😊

[@alfe1402]

Why is important to convert the pediatric side into an open bell??? What's the difference??? Thanks.

[@Marco-bf4uu]

From an German nurse perspective where we aren't even allowed to take blood or take care of wounds, all doctors job. For what do you need an cardiology stethoscope or an stethoscope in general?

[@UcheAfrica]

An ICU would be an ideal place where you might want to detect a change in patient's breathing status. I do find the classic 2 to be sufficient in most cases

[@Marco-bf4uu]

@@UcheAfrica Yeah, there it might make sense but isn’t done here too. Im an trauma suricial icu nurse but why arent allowed to do that since stethoscope are apparently the status symbol of an doctor. That’s why im trying to get into university soon, nursing here is shit

[@UcheAfrica]

@@Marco-bf4uu Wow, i guess there's a lot of difference btw practice from the United states. It sucks because nurses should be able to assess patients continously. I once detected a patient had a serious heart murmur and reported to the doctor. Also a patient can develop crackles from a fluid overload etc.

[@Marco-bf4uu]

@@UcheAfrica Yes I think so too but here is traditionally just washing, giving food and medicine from watching us and gb nurse documentaries I thought we can do equally much..

[@soumyajyoti804]

What kind of people dislike these nice videos.

[@erenakca7022]

The people who want to see a doctor in this video, instead of a nurse... Seriously...? Nurse... cardiology master stethoscope ? Come on guys.

[@nicholassolntzeff9232]

Love it better. Just like the video described.

[@h3684]

I have both...and tbh other than the less rubbing sounds... They both sounds more or less the same when auscultating.. Don't waste your money on a cardiology IV.. Its not worth the extra money...

[@NurseJenny]

It depends on what you use the cardiology stethoscope for.

[@jasonmcgrotha8044]

I doubt they have less rubbing than a single lumen tube. Possibly less rubbing than the original "dual" tubed sprague (which also work fine).

[@farmmedic823]

Agreed. Don’t waste your money one a Cardiology IV. Buy an Eko Core if you want to increase your ability to hear things. It attaches to any stethoscope. Although, some would say if you can’t hear it with a Classic III, then it’s clinically insignificant and won’t make a difference in your treatment modality.

[@grapeeggplant3863]

I've seen med surg nurses with the electric stethoscopes that ARNPs and docs use so hey, you chose what you want right? I'm personally gonna get the cardiology 4 because of all the alarms from vents and monitors in ICU. Thank you for sharing your opinion/experiences :)

[@nenanoushad4712]

Heyyyyy can u please reply…..I am going to join mbbs first year so which one should I buy?investment is not an issue…is 4 only brought by people if they are only interested in cardiology or not?

[@isaacriquelme5785]

My girlfriend is going to clinical for Cardiology as a MA. Idk if I should get her the cardiology master or stick classic

[@clla3393]

Thank you very much for the video. I want to give one of those stethoscopes to my brother who is a pediatrician, which one would you recommend?. Thanks!!

[@marcosbinda639]

Littmann Classic 2 pediatric

[@bethzabetromero7384]

should i get the cardiology IV as a medical assistant !?

[@emelinbydesign15]

Hi, I was wondering if you ended up getting it?! I am also an MA & im debating if I should get it as well or just get the classic three instead?

[@ImJustFunSize]

Heads up, Amazon is not listed as a certified Littmann dealer on their website. Beware of fakes!!

[@sonycox]

Thank Y for help ❤

[@ladygadventures4144]

i think ill invest on 4 even if im new grad so that i don't have to buy another one if i buy 3 in the fist time ehhehe, thank you

[@imbatman66]

Good video. One suggestion, ditch the background music. It doesn't add anything, just makes it more difficult to hear you speak.

[@drei000]

Thanks which stethoscope can you recommend? what do you pay attention to when listening?

[@nursevirginiairene]

I love my Cardiology IV. It’s an investment because it’s more pricey, but it zones in on the sounds your suppose to be listening to (heart - lub dub- and lung- clear, crackles, coarse, etc) vs all the external noise. If you can’t afford the Cardiology though, I work with plenty of nurses that still use the Classic. ☺️

[@drei000]

@@nursevirginiairene Thanks, is the Littmann stethoscope also suitable for listening to yourself? without pre-knowledge ?

[@nursevirginiairene]

Any stethoscope can be used to listen to heart and lung sounds on anyone. It will help to know where to place it so you know whether your hearing heart or lung sounds, etc. Hope that helps.

[@amalomer7466]

Thank you

[@dianaherrera2513]

If you had the money during nursing school, would you have gotten the cardiology instead of the classic?

[@nursevirginiairene]

Thanks for the question! I don’t think for nursing school the cardiology is 100% necessary. A Classic will do fine. It’s really when you get out on your own that it’s beneficial to have a solid stethoscope. That being said, if you only want to purchase one stethoscope, I’d recommend the Cardiology. 😊

[@dianaherrera2513]

@@nursevirginiairene alright, thank you! I think I’ll buy the classic one for school and reward myself after graduation with a cardiology one to keep me motivated 😄
