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.
