ANIMATIONS
Your pediatrician will use a variety of equipment for routine care and special equipment for other conditions. In fact, a pediatrician uses basically the same equipment as any other doctor, except that some of it designed with
its use for children in mind. Examples include baby scales and child-sized blood
pressure cuffs. Diagnostic equipment helps pediatricians determine
whether their patients have any diseases or medical conditions. This type of equipment can also help a
pediatrician determine whether a child is developing normally. An otoscope helps the doctor look inside the
ears to check for signs of infection.
