During sliding, the angle of insonation in relation to the patient's body is not changed as the probe is moved across the body in the longitudinal axis of the patient (Bahner et al. 2016).

Pearl: Gradual increase in probe pressure is much better tolerated by the patient than a quick stabbing motion.

Pearl: Excessive pressure can push or move the area of interest out of view.

Pearl: There are three major reasons to use probe pressure knowing that your patient may not like the maneuver: reduce contact and air‐trapping artifact, push structures out of the way, such as gas‐filled small intestine, and gain more depth by moving the transducer closer to the area of interest.
