So to sum up, when you find black, it looks to be fluid you track it and see where it goes. You look at this picture on the right it’s a Morison’s pouch view, and there’s actually fluid both in Morison’s pouch between the liver and the kidney, as well as in the thoracic space above the diaphragm. The key to finding fluid and knowing where it is and what significance it has is to track it to see if its contained or free, to see if its simple or complex, and basically make sure you know exactly what it entails, where it is, and how much of it you may see.
