Eleven openly licensed clips, then the SCCM course clips used with permission.
Short teaching loops, not complete examinations.
Heart
Normal apical four-chamber view
Identify the four chambers, septum and atrioventricular valves across the cardiac cycle.
A single normal example does not exclude cardiac disease or establish an ejection fraction. This short loop is intended for orientation and qualitative motion assessment.

Examination-date area at the upper left masked; original creator credits and scan anatomy retained. Transcoded to H.264 MP4 without changing sequence or playback speed. Audio and source container metadata removed. JPEG poster extracted at 0.15 seconds; it is a still from the processed clinical clip.
This video and its poster remain under CC BY-SA 3.0.
Follow circumferential wall thickening and inward motion at the papillary-muscle level.
Interpret alongside other levels and views. This loop is not a quantitative EF measurement, and foreshortening or obliquity can alter the apparent geometry.

Recognise pericardial fluid and inspect right-sided chamber motion in an apical cine from a published tamponade teaching case.
Confirm collapse timing with ECG or M-mode and integrate haemodynamics. Effusion alone does not diagnose tamponade, and the clip is not an instruction to drain.

The identifying/examination header across the top 28 pixels masked outside the scan anatomy. Transcoded to H.264 MP4 without changing sequence or playback speed. Audio and source container metadata removed. JPEG poster extracted at 0.15 seconds; it is a still from the processed clinical clip.
Compare the pleural line with the sliding example. Movement beneath it is markedly reduced or absent.
Absent sliding is nonspecific. Consider apnoea, pleural adhesions, mainstem intubation, severe lung disease and pneumothorax; integrate other signs and clinical context.

Identify vertical bright artefacts arising at the pleural line and extending through the displayed image.
The original source calls these comet-tail artefacts. Use contemporary B-line definitions and scan settings; the appearance alone does not establish pulmonary oedema or its cause.

Follow the respiratory transition between sliding lung and a region without sliding in the published pneumothorax example.
Confirm the expected A-line pattern on the non-sliding side and distinguish lung-edge mimics. Absence of a lung point does not exclude pneumothorax; do not infer tension physiology from the clip.

Sliding lung moves over mediastinal soft tissue with cardiac motion. The non-lung side lacks the expected A-line/no-sliding pattern.
CT excluded pneumothorax in this published case. Compare the entire image pattern with the true lung-point example; a moving boundary alone is insufficient.
Identifying/time header masked; black pillarboxes removed and display proportionally resized from the original 1920 × 1080 container to 720 × 540.

Observe changes in IVC calibre and position during respiration.
IVC variation is influenced by breathing effort, ventilation, abdominal pressure and right-heart function. This clip cannot prove hypovolaemia or predict fluid responsiveness.

These clinical clips supplement the original interactive diagrams. Source resolution varies. The collection does not yet supply every Doppler or pathological example; use the lecture explanations and references for those topics.
