“…Wireless stethoscope is a solution to solve the problem of remote auscultation (Perri, 2010). Additionally, wireless stethoscopes have another advantage over classic stethoscopes, namely that they can increase the sound produced (A-Mohannadi et al, 2022); and contribute to better performance on auscultation, as personalized adjustments can be made (Høyte et al, 2005b). They cannot, however, be used in noisy environments because wireless stethoscopes are very sensitive to sound waves.…”

Background:Examining the heart and lungs is necessary for critically ill patients, as these individuals may have abnormalities with either or both of these organs. This review systematically determined how the auscultation of the heart and lungs using a wireless stethoscope affected the results. Methods: The research design used was a systematic review following preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Databases were searched using the search terms “auscultation," "critical patients," and "stethoscope wireless” and associated MeSH terms. The abstracts of the selected articles were examined independently by two researchers. A systematic search was conducted through several databases (Scopus, PubMed, JSTOR, and Springer-link), which were published from July 2012 to July 2022 .After reading the full content of the included studies, key themes and concepts were extracted and synthesized. Results: In total 142 articles were screened. Five articles met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed. The analysis revealed that wireless stethoscopes have increased sensitivity with indicators capable of diagnosing abnormal auscultation results in patients who have abnormal aucultation results on the gold standard. Three out of five studies suggested that the auscultation of the heart and lungs by wireless stethoscopes are more sensitive, while two other studies stated that wireless stethoscopes have the same sensitivity as manual acoustic stethoscopes. Conclusion: Based on this systematic review, a wireless stethoscope may be more sensitive than an acoustic one. Nevertheless, due to limited studies, a more well-controlled human study is warranted to be done.

Background: This meta-analysis and systematic review aim to consolidate evidence on cardiotoxicity prevention and treatment strategies in patients receiving anthracyclines or HER2 receptor inhibitors, vital treatments for breast cancer and hematologic malignancies. By synthesizing existing research, the goal is to provide impactful insights that enhance patient care and outcomes. Methods: Comprehensive research across PubMed, Scopus, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Central Register for Controlled Trials was conducted, selecting clinical trials focusing on cardioprotection in anthracyclines or HER2 inhibitor-treated individuals. Effect sizes were computed using OpenMeta (Analyst), with leave-out meta-analysis to assess potential small study effects. Meta-regression explored treatment duration and sample size effects. Evidence quality for primary outcomes was evaluated using ROB, Robins 2, and Newcastle-Ottawa tools. Results: Twenty -three studies involving a total of 14,652 patients (13,221 adults and 1431 kids) were included in the current systematic review and meta-analysis. The risk of bias and methodological quality of the included studies suggested good and moderate quality. Patients prescribed β-blockers demonstrated a 74% lower likelihood of exhibiting cardiotoxicity symptoms (OR 1.736). Similarly, the use of dexrazoxane was linked to a threefold decrease in cardiac abnormalities risk (OR 2.989), and ACE inhibitor administration showed half the risk compared with the control group (OR 1.956). Conclusions: Through this systematic review and meta-analysis, it was shown that there is a reduction in cardiotoxicity from either anthracyclines or HER2 inhibitors in patients receiving pharmacoprophylaxis.
