	*Spine Sign		*Spine Sign
	**Anechoic or hypoechoic fluid is present in the pleural space allowing continued visualization of the spine superior to the diaphragm		**Anechoic or hypoechoic fluid is present in the pleural space allowing continued visualization of the spine superior to the diaphragm

			*Seashore Sign
			**Using M-Mode over the pleura, this sign represents normal lung sliding, demonstrating a clear transition point between the sea (the immobile chest wall) and the shore (mobile pleura)

			*Bar code Sign
			** Using M-Mode over the pleura, this sign represents absent lung sliding, including pneumothorax, showing no transition in movement from the immobile chest wall to the immobile pleura creating a bar code effect
