Key Message:
This is a very difficult PoCUS technique fraught with significant sequelae if used improperly.
Lung sliding rules out pneumothorax at the region you are scanning only. The premise of the scanning technique is for a NON-loculated pneumothorax where the air will rise to the most independent region in the thorax.
