Dr. Helmholz was born in Indiana in December, 1911.

Rochester, age 10 His father, Henry F. Helmholz, M.D.,

was asked by Dr. William Mayo to develop pediatrics at Mayo Clinic.

At Mayo, Dr. Helmholz’s interest in human physiology began, and he pursued his medical education.

Remembering H. Fred Helmholz, Jr., M.D.

Page 6: Dr. Fred  Helmholz  Education Lecture Series

After medical school, Fred returned to Rochester

Fellow in Physiology and Pathology for the Mayo Foundation, in the Physiology Institute.

Dr. Helmholz studied decompression chambers

Medicine

Page 7: Dr. Fred  Helmholz  Education Lecture Series

Dr. Helmholz put himself into an oxygen chamber with the equivalent of 40,000 feet in altitude.

“I promptly passed out and there was much venting and letting air into the chamber to resuscitate me.

“I learned that, at 40,000 feet, unless I purposely hyperventilate or over breathe, I can’t stay conscious even breathing pure oxygen.

“So I learned something about myself that I could apply to aviators.”

How Dedicated Was He?

Page 8: Dr. Fred  Helmholz  Education Lecture Series

Then Second World War began WW II worked at Consolidated Aircraft

Corporation in San Diego. and developed a way for B24 bomber pilots to safely fly at 35,000 feet

Impact of WW II

Page 9: Dr. Fred  Helmholz  Education Lecture Series

Dr. Helmholz’s most lasting impact -- his work with respiratory therapists, locally and nationally.

“I had some friends …who were kind of interested in getting an organization, the American Association of Inhalation Therapy, the AAIT…

“so I worked with them and that’s how my interest in respiratory care [grew].”

Working with Respiratory Therapists

FROM FACULTY MEMBERS

Page 16: Dr. Fred  Helmholz  Education Lecture Series

Learning how to assess the patients needs in terms of the goals of mechanical ventilation, - safety, comfort, and liberation.

Teaching how to identify the technological capabilities available to meet those needs

Teaching how to match the available technology to the needs.

FROM A NATIONALLY-KNOWN RT CLINICIAN

Page 17: Dr. Fred  Helmholz  Education Lecture Series

Be sure graduate know how to recognize respiratory distress.

This is key to their function as RTs Identify the problem before the patient

codes.

FROM AN R.N.

The Best Teaching Methods

Page 31: Dr. Fred  Helmholz  Education Lecture Series

“I would have to say, however, that I think the most effective strategy occurs when they have to breath on the ventilator connected to a mouth piece with an HME so they experience the ventilator settings.”

Two faculty mentioned this.

Also Mentioned By Faculty

Page 32: Dr. Fred  Helmholz  Education Lecture Series

"As you were taking your mechanical ventilation classes, labs and clinicals,

“…what did you find to be the top 3 most important things that helped you understand the application of mechanical ventilation in the clinical setting?"

(please list in order of importance).

STUDENT QUESTIONS

Page 33: Dr. Fred  Helmholz  Education Lecture Series

Total of 13 responses Very limited agreement on what they perceive as important.

INDIVIDUAL RESPONSES

1. Understanding the concepts of each ventilator settings2. Comprehension and explanation of wave forms3. Troubleshooting and ventilator changes Lecture, Lab, Inservice from vent reps Boxes, Tables and Cases 

STUDENT RESPONSES

Page 34: Dr. Fred  Helmholz  Education Lecture Series

(1) Paying attention and TAKING NOTES during lecture. Including drawing my own scalars and graphs.

(2) Patients being mechanically ventilated. It is important to see the application of different modes and how they correlate with different pathologies as well as seeing the results in real time.

(3) Handling several different ventilators in lab and learning each of their basic modes and functions.

Continuing Student Responses

Page 35: Dr. Fred  Helmholz  Education Lecture Series

(1) Visualizing the ventilator graphics in class- seeing examples of the scalars on the different modes was by far and away the best way for me to truly grasp the principles of the modes and how they apply to disease processes. 

(2) Use of ventilators on actual patients in the hospitals.

(3) The textbook and supplemental reading- reading, on my own, and having time to interpret and compare the modes

Additional Student Responses

Page 36: Dr. Fred  Helmholz  Education Lecture Series

(1) The way the information linked what was happening physiologically with the patient and making appropriate vent changes to compensate.

(2) The hands on exposure (labs) with vents, mannequins and other equipment was invaluable. Also being able to physically do certain procedures on real patients in clinicals was a great confidence builder. 

(3) Trending of pulse oximetry, labs, ABGs, x-rays, ascultation etc were also helpful in understanding and following the various stages of a patient's condition and vent manipulation.

Some Insightful Student Ideas

Page 37: Dr. Fred  Helmholz  Education Lecture Series

The concepts of transducers and electrical physics as applied to how a mechanical ventilator works.

Modes that are not presently used in a clinical setting. (3 responses)

The time spent on learning all the outdated ventilators which we no longer use, or even see in the hospital and more time devoted to current applications. (2 responses)

Working in groups with the ventilators. The lab activities are confusing and hard to follow. Every resource provided to me during the course has

been valuable. Oscillators              

"What Single Thing Was of Least Value to You in Learning Mechanical Ventilation?

Page 38: Dr. Fred  Helmholz  Education Lecture Series

Most responded that they felt they were prepared

I feel comfortable being in the ICU with another therapist but I am not comfortable being alone because I tend to panic in certain situations when the patient appears to be under distress (like when waking up from sedation and starting to fight the vent).

"How ready are you to care for a patient being mechanically ventilation in the ICU?"

The Great Cholesterol Myth:Why Lowering Your Cholesterol

Won’t Prevent Heart DiseaseBy Dr. Stephen Sinatra, M.D. Cardiologist

Dr. Jonny Bowden, Ph.D. Nutritionist

Page 50: Dr. Fred  Helmholz  Education Lecture Series

True or false – lowering cholesterol reduces the incidence of heart attack.

True or false – people with cholesterol values more than 260 mg/dL are more likely to die.

True or false – statins reduce cholesterol levels.

Cholesterol and Statins

Page 51: Dr. Fred  Helmholz  Education Lecture Series

Triglyceride to HDL ratio Example: 150 mg/dL: 50mg/dL = 3 Harvard publication Circulation Those with the highest risk of myocardial

infarction had the highest triglyceride-to- HDL ratio.Gaziano JM, et al Circulation 96, 1997, 2520

Better Prediction of Heart Disease

Page 52: Dr. Fred  Helmholz  Education Lecture Series

Parent molecule for sex hormones A cholesterol level of 160 mg/dL or less has

been linked to depression, aggression, cerebral hemorrhage and loss of sex drive

We make vitamin D from cholesterol Only a problem when it is oxidized The true cause of heart disease is

inflammation.

Importance of Cholesterol

Page 53: Dr. Fred  Helmholz  Education Lecture Series

There is a better relationship between sugar consumption and heart disease than fat consumption and heart disease.

2003 World Health Organization – no more than 10% of diet from all added sugars.

Sugar Association annually given $406 million to the WHO.

Threatened to lobby Congress to cut off the $406 million.

Heart Disease

Page 54: Dr. Fred  Helmholz  Education Lecture Series

Hypothesis: Cholesterol is a good predictor of mortality.

From 1995 to 2007 Final 5 studies of 150,000 people total

followed for about 5 years.

Japanese Study – Meta-Analysis

(Japan Atherosclerosis and Thrombosis 14, 2007, 5.)

Page 55: Dr. Fred  Helmholz  Education Lecture Series

Less than 160 mg/dL◦ 160 to 199 mg/dL◦ 200 to 239 mg/dL◦ Over 240 mg/dL

Current AHA guidelines:◦ 200 mg/dL or lower desirable◦ 201 to 239 borderline◦ Higher than 240 is bad

Blood Cholesterol Ranges

Page 56: Dr. Fred  Helmholz  Education Lecture Series

Those with the lowest cholesterol (<160) had the highest mortality rate (death from any cause)

Rate of death decreased in highest two cholesterol groups. (200-239 & >240 mg/dL)

So, are cholesterol levels just so much hocus-pocus?

Results of Meta-Analysis

Page 57: Dr. Fred  Helmholz  Education Lecture Series

Learn to be very critical of medical literature and the media-hype about medications.

Message of Cholesterol Story

“It must be true. I saw it on the internet.”

Page 58: Dr. Fred  Helmholz  Education Lecture Series

Lack of teamwork leads to medical errors and poor patient outcomes. (Dr. Martin Makary, M.D.)

The key to collaborative function of any clinician in critical care is effective communication and teamwork. (Kacmarek RM, Respir Care 2013; 58:1087.)

Teamwork & Patient Safety

Page 59: Dr. Fred  Helmholz  Education Lecture Series

2010 Harvard study (NEJM) As many as 25% of all patients are harmed

by medical mistakes. Over the past 10 years error rates have not

come down, despite efforts

www.ahrq.gov/qual/patientsafetyculture1. Is the teamwork good?2. Would you feel comfortable having your own

care performed in the unit in which you work?3. Do people work well as a coordinated team?4. Do doctors and nurses do what’s in the best

interest for the patient?5. Is communication strong?6. Do you feel comfortable speaking up when

you have a safety concern?

Dr. Sexton’s Teamwork Culture Survey

Page 62: Dr. Fred  Helmholz  Education Lecture Series

Reduces incidence of errors. Teamwork survey scores correlated with

infection rates and patient outcomes. Most hospitals do not want to provide this

information. Government does not make public access to

survey results possible. www.hospitalcompare.hhs.gov

Teamwork Culture

Page 63: Dr. Fred  Helmholz  Education Lecture Series

“Properly weighed data transparency would empower patients to make informed decisions about where they spend their health care dollar.” (Dr. Makary)

Hospital CEOs and Medical Directors should reward employees who act on behalf of their patient-safety concerns.

“At your hospital, is priority given to what’s best for the patient..” and not for what is financially best for the hospital?

Data Transparency

Page 64: Dr. Fred  Helmholz  Education Lecture Series

Humans make mistakes Less of a punishment culture? What are possible ways to reduce errors? What part of this should we teach?

People Are Human

Page 65: Dr. Fred  Helmholz  Education Lecture Series

“Motivation just like lack of motivation spreads like wildfire.”

Can you teach someone to be motivated…. That would be “No”
