@NephroMK Not sure why emphysema impedes lateral view because even if the lung is expanded, liver is big enough to provide a window to IVC🤔 If you are using curvilinear probe, try switching to phased array.
Alternatively, can use IJ vein (column height and/or response to Valsalva).

@Rajiv_Sinanan @ThinkingCC @khaycock2 @ArgaizR @katiewiskar @jamiekwillows @ria_dancel Point about arterial interference is more of a caution when rest of the data doesn’t fit. I could be wrong. Whether using subxiphoid or lateral window, location sampled here ‘may’ be subjected to transmitted pulsations.
I remain conservative in this case. Await expert opinion.
