About Dr. Larsson

Dr. Ingrid Larsson is a Paediatric Intensivist at the Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm, one of Scandinavia’s leading children’s hospitals. With 15 years of experience in neonatal and paediatric critical care, and an MD PhD in paediatric respiratory physiology, she writes about auscultation in the most acoustically challenging and clinically important patient group — from premature infants weighing under 1kg to teenagers in the paediatric ICU.

At Stethoscope24, Ingrid’s articles combine clinical authority with genuine compassion for the smallest, most vulnerable patients. She covers not just which stethoscope to choose, but how to use it — and why the right tool makes an enormous difference when your patient cannot tell you what’s wrong.
