Title A name given to the resource Pinard's Foetal Stethoscope Description An account of the resource This foetal stethoscope is also known as a pinard horn, named after the French Obstetrician Adolphe Pinard (1844-1934). Pinard designed this style of stethoscope in 1895. It was used to monitor foetal heart rate by placing the instrument on the patient’s stomach. Adolphe Pinard was an early advocate for foetal health monitoring. However, he was also a founding member of the French Eugenics Society in 1913 and served as its president for some time. Pinard horns are still used to this day for patients at low risk of complications in labour as well as in low-resource settings.
