Sažetak
Although stethoscope was invented by French physician René-Théophile-Hyacinthe Laennec
(1781-1826) in 1816, its wider clinical application started only after the publication of his
book entitled De l’Auscultation Médiate ou Traité, du Diagnostic des Maladies des
Poumons et du Coeur in 1819. Its invention coincided with the development of the ‘hospital
medicine’ in the post-revolutionary Paris during the first quarter of the 19th century. It
has enabled then contemporary physicians to explain the correlation between the patient
symptoms and the clinical findings and thus has helped the shift from the humoral pathology
towards the solitary pathology.
