“Objective: <\/strong>To determine whether the “cool” or circumcervical placement of the stethoscope when not in use is as efficacious as the traditional placement in terms of transfer time to the functional position.<\/p>

Methods:<\/strong> Measurement of time taken by 100 health care professionals in each group to transfer stethoscope to functional position.<\/p>

Results and interpretation:<\/strong> The cool group was much slower than the traditional group, despite their younger years. This wasted time could translate into a substantial financial burden on Canada’s health care system.”<\/p>
