Practical Clinical Skills

While researching health info, I ran across this site that I think might interest some of you. It's Practical Clinical Skills and provides free interactive reference guides and training for those who wish to learn. It offers lung sounds, heart sounds, blood pressure, EKG, carotid artery bruit and auscultation training by repetition so you can learn what you're actually listening to. You might be able to "diagnose" your patients should you hear anything that is cause for alarm that they should go to their licensed physician for a consultation. So not only can med fet be fun, but you may actually save a life. 😃

Enjoy!

Looks good

Excellent contribution!

That site is brilliant - I hadn't come across it before, but definitely worth looking through.

Interesting site! Thanks for linking it.

This is so cool!! I'm a little rusty but it's as good a training as you can get without practicing on the real thing. The sound quality is fantastic.

That's a cool site. I don't really have any stething "patients", but if I ever do that would be helpful. Actually when I listen to myself I sometimes have what sounds like the "innocent murmur". Its not always noticeable, but sometimes

Thanks, egirlky!

Very instrucrive site. I listened to the different heart sound examples throug a stethoscope attached to one side of my earphones, which made it like a real auscultation!

That is really fun, esp. the bp and auscultation tests.

Great link😃 Thanks for sharing.

Great site. Thank you.

Sounds very interesting to look into, but i don't think it's very safe to "diagnose" anyone, maybe warn them that they should get checked out for real if there is an issue. Otherwise, Thank you!

Anytime you hear a murmur with a stethoscope its standard practice to order an ECG and ECHO.
