Esophageal stethoscope is used to detect cardiac problem, wheezing, airway obstacle, larynugospasm, decline in blood pressure, etc. Esophageal stethoscopes, are mostly joined with a temperature probe and are supplanted with precordial stethoscopes as cardiothoracic monitors. These probes are preferably sited in a retrocardiac manner by passing the probes down the esophagus till the volume of the auscultated heart sounds is maximized.

Moreover, esophageal stethoscope is used to listen to the tone of pulse oximeter, heart tones and breath sounds that gives immediate and continuous feedback about pulse oximeter, heart rate and rhythm and an impression of the changes in intensity of heart sounds, which are useful in diagnosing arrhythmias, hypovolemia, anesthetic overdose, and airway obstruction. Esophageal stethoscope is used to monitor venous air embolism along with devices such as precordial doppler, a right-heart catheter, capnography, pulse oximetry, etc.

Market Dynamics

Diagnosis of different types of cardiac disease such as cardiac arrhythmias is expected to drive growth of the global esophageal stethoscope market, over the forecast period. For instance, according to data published in the book “A Practice of Anesthesia in Infants and Children, 6th Edition” in 2019,a esophageal stethoscope is used to detect cardiac arrhythmias in patients. Esophageal stethoscope is used to record heart and lung sound of the patients.

Guidelines from U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for marketing of the class I, II and III medical device, are expected to drive growth of the global esophageal stethoscope market, over the forecast period. For instance, according to data updated on March 29, 2022 by the U.S. FDA esophageal stethoscope is classified into Class II Diagnostic. FDA guidelines stated that Premarket Approval Application (PMA) is not required for marketing of medical device coming under class I, II, and III projected for human use, only need to submit a 510(k) to FDA. For marketing of class II device a market player should receive an order in the form of letter from the Food and Drug Administration which says that the device to be substantially equivalent and the new device is as safe and effective as the legally marketed device and states that the device can be marketed in the U.S
