For the RUQ view, fan through several rib spaces
to see the following three things:
1) Above and below the diaphragm
2) Morison’s Pouch
3)The liver tip*
*Don’t forget to scan the left side of the liver/paracolic gutter. BLOOD POOLS HERE FIRST along the inferior pole of the kidney and paracolic gutter/left border of the liver. You may need to move your probe 1 or 2 rib spaces down from the Morison’s view to see this.
