In the past few years, my ICU has prioritized mobility and is tracking our progress. We use the JHHLM score to track what patient have done and to make goals for what they can do. I made drawings like this to help depict each JHHLM score. #MedTwitter #Mobility #CriticalCare

Made this for a mobility project we are doing on my unit. We are trying to educate staff on early ICU mobility. Would love any feedback! #MedTwitter #FOAMed #FOAMcc #ICU #Mobility
Echo is one of the more skilled ultrasound exams you can do. Having learnt it and now teaching it, I see the same mistakes being made over and over again. I have put together thread on beginner mistakes in echo. #tweetorial #POCUS #FUSIC #askpocus
