A comparison of some physiological effects of supine (left) and prone (right) positioning. In the prone position, reduced force from other organs is applied to the lungs, which allows for improved lung compliance and therefore improved relation between ventilation and perfusion of the lungs. Top panel: Dark blue arrows indicate the direction of the force exerted on the lungs by the heart. Middle panel: Arrows indicate the direction of the force exerted on the lungs by the abdominal organs. For prone positioning, less force from these organs is applied to the lungs, which allows for improved lung compliance by decreasing the force it needs to expand against. Bottom panel: Graded shading represents lung perfusion with darker shade representing greater ventilation/perfusion mismatch owing to alveolar collapse posteriorly in the supine position (reduced in the prone patient as this position allows for more even chest expansion). Note: A = anterior, P = posterior.

The psychological recovery can be every bit as hard as the physical recovery, more so at times and often longer lasting.
I was clinically diagnosed with PTSD following my ICU event and nearly fifteen years later, I still tread a fine line with my mental health.

Another fantastic group of physiotherapy delegates.
Thank you to my faculty team of @PhysioFarrell @JeremyDaly1 @torraine20 & Becky Chadwick.

Had the fantastic opportunity to be faculty on a lung ultrasound course today. Great fun introducing so many physios to this wonderful tool 🤩🫁

Pleased to share our most recent publication: a small (n=40) retrospective review looking at the impact of physio-led 🫁 ultrasound on physio and medical clinical decision-making in ICU patients. @georgentou1 #physio #POCUS #ICU

What a FANTASTIC time I’ve had these past few days in Boston at #APTACSM reconnecting, establishing new exciting connections, and getting glimpses into the many doors that are beginning to open to me following my doctorate

Looking forward to the future!

Fantastic turn out and great to see interest in lung ultrasound during the in-service I ran today @gramacutephysio 🤩

Had great discussions on the future use of lung ultrasound by #physios at ARI and what this could look like 🫁👩🏻‍⚕️
