Video 07-02: Right lung base

From: Pocket Guide to POCUS: Point-of-Care Tips for Point-of-Care Ultrasound

This video shows the right lung base, where the liver and overlying diaphragm are on the right side of the screen. Anechoic fluid is labeled, and during the respiratory cycle the grey air artifact can be seen coming in as a curtain from the left side of the screen. Also visible is a rib shadow that can be distinguished from the fluid using posterior acoustic enhancement.
