This was a case of idiopathic pericardial effusion without an overt mass visible but maybe at the end of the  clip couild be an attached clot. So rescanning in a week. But usually this view will show you the mass and this dog had nothing else that said HSA so likely idiopathic.

You hold the probe like a

You hold the probe like a beer can on the left sternal intercostal region 3-4 IC and press down with the “bottom of the beer can” to collapse the lung. This gives you a great view of the right atrium TV and right auricle or position 3 of the SDEP cardiac approach. We call this RA and rt Aurcile “The Hammock” owing to the concave look of the right atrium in this view. What’s better than a beer and a hammock? 🙂
