In this video the operator is sliding the probe superiorly through a large effusion. Initially the diaphragm and underlying viscera are visible on the right side of the screen. As the probe slides superiorly the rib shadows can be seen moving across the screen from left to right. They can be distinguished from fluid using the posterior acoustic enhancement of the fluid. Notable is the large area of atelectatic lung in the effusion.
