Pulmonary - Normal Lung Slide
Caption
To assess for lung slide, look between two ribs. The two layers of pleura can be seen as the hyperechoic, shimmering line just under the subcutaneous tissue. This represents the sliding of the parietal and visceral pleura. Normal lung slide should have: Shimmering aka "ants marching" This may be augmented by m-mode as pictured in another post.
