HBOT Conversations:
Dr. Peter Canaday (Part 1)

Dr. Peter Canaday has published work in Applied Physiology, Respiratory Medicine, and Diagnostic Radiology.  He has presented at National (USA) and International meetings, and his research supported the eventual FDA approval of a new medical imaging device incorporating digital X-ray tomosynthesis. He has sat on National, State, and Local advisory committees, and given testimony at the State Legislative level in the USA.

Dr. Canaday’s experience with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy dates back to the 1980s when he studied HBOT under Dr. Eric Kindwall, “The Father of Hyperbaric Medicine”. Dr. Canaday also co-founded the Hyperbaric Medicine Department at St. Anthony Hospital in Lakewood, Colorado.

From 2007, Dr. Canaday spent time in community radiology practices before settling in New Zealand in 2013 as a Consultant Radiologist. Since 2016, he was employed at a Midlands region DHB and served as Head of Department before retiring in March 2021.

HBOT News welcomes Dr. Peter Canaday.  Dr. Canaday now lives primarily in New Zealand, but his history with medicine and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy dates back over 40 years to the United States.

In this HBOT News Network Conversations, Dr. Canaday spends the first several minutes providing listeners with his biography and medical background.  He also dives into his experience with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in the 1980s.

The subject of PTSD and recent Hyperbaric research arises, and Dr. Canaday expands on the topic by referencing two research articles from Dr. Paul G. Harch –

Systematic Review and Dosage Analysis: Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Efficacy in Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Persistent Postconcussion Syndrome

Oxygen and Pressure Epigenetics: Understanding Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy After 355 Years as the Oldest Gene Therapy Known to Man

Dr. Canaday further explains, “There is a recruitment of the anti-inflammatory enzymes and a suppression of the pro-inflammatory enzymes that can be achieved through even these lower pressure units. And so we’re beginning to see now the potential mechanism for which Hyperbaric Therapy, whether with or without oxygen, may be effective.”

The remainder of this HBOT News Conversation is specific to the topic of COVID-19. di Girolamo starts the conversation discussing the struggles for  long-hauler COVID patients and the growing number of vaccine injuries as a result of the COVID-19 vaccine.  Dr. Canaday agrees that the scientific inquiry for COVID-19 and the available information for associated vaccines has been widely suppressed.  He continues that even the data which represent conclusions from peer-reviewed literature has been simply ignored, or set aside without discussion.

In response, Dr. Canaday provides viewers with direct links on how they can learn more about some of the data and information he’s shared with the public regarding the COVID-19 vaccine roll-outs:

Dr. Peter Canaday

Following completion of medical school at the University of Massachusetts in 1976, Dr. Peter Canaday took up training as an Internal Medicine specialist at the University of Michigan, followed by sub-specialist training in Respiratory and Intensive Care at the University of North Carolina. He began his medical career in a busy trauma hospital in Denver, Colorado in 1981 and practiced for 12 years. During his time there, he managed many of the types of patients now seen with severe COVID-19, co-founded a sleep disorders laboratory and a hyperbaric medicine department. As well, he participated in a dozen committee assignments, and rose to Chairman of the Department of Internal Medicine. In 1993, Dr Canaday changed career and completed training as a Radiologist at the University of Wisconsin in 1997. During an 8-year period at Creighton University Medical School in Nebraska, he became tenured as an Assistant Professor of Radiology, and head of the section of Pulmonary Radiology. He also served on or chaired over a dozen hospital and medical school committees and was appointed Clinical Coordinator for the Radiology Department during his time there. Dr Canaday has also published work in applied physiology, respiratory medicine, and diagnostic radiology, has presented at national (USA) and international meetings, and his research supported the eventual FDA approval of a new medical imaging device incorporating digital X-ray tomosynthesis. He has sat on national, state, and local level advisory committees and given testimony at the state legislative level in the USA. From 2007, Dr Canaday spent time in community radiology practices before settling in New Zealand in 2013 as a Consultant Radiologist. Since 2016, he was employed at the Taranaki District Health Board and served as Head of Department before retiring in March 2021.

Clinical Trial – SOFT Block Versus Spinal Anesthesia in Patientsusing Ilizarov External Fixator

Peripheral nerve block is an ideal choice for lower limb surgery because of the peripheral
site of the surgical procedure and the ability to block pain pathways at multiple levels. On
the contrary to other anesthetic techniques, as spinal or general anesthesia, properly
performed peripheral nerve blocks bypass adverse events as hemodynamic instability and
respiratory complications, properly treat post-operative pain leading to early hospital
discharge. Additional advantages of peripheral nerve blocks are that they can be used in
patients receiving anti-coagulants or lumbosacral disease in addition to avoidance of airway
instrumentation.

Recently, there has been a significant interest in regional anesthesia and peripheral nerve
blockade. This is facilitated by a significant advance of the research in this field and
availability of better equipment facilitating regional anesthesia.The aim of this study was
to assess the efficacy and safety of SOFT block (sciatic-obturator-femoral nerve block
technique) in comparison with spinal anesthesia in patients undergoing surgery for fixation
of open tibial fractures using Ilizarov external fixator.

Clinical Trial – Effect of Intrathecal Morphine on Chronic Pain After Elective Caesarean Section

The incidence of chronic post-surgical pain (CPSP) after caesarean section (CS) is reported
to be as high as 18%, reflecting it to be a significant clinical problem. Studies related to
prevention of progression of acute post-CS pain to its chronicity are sparse. Current
guidelines on post-CS analgesia recommend the use of intrathecal (IT) opioids to spinal
anaesthesia for improved post-CS pain relief. Despite its frequent use, studies related to
the IT morphine use and its association with post-CS chronic pain are lacking.

A recent prospective observation study revealed a significant reduction in persistent pain
after CS when IT morphine was used as an adjuvant to spinal anaesthesia. However, there is no
any randomized controlled trial (RCT) that has explored this association to date. We
hypothesized that spinal morphine would reduce the incidence of persistent pain after CS.
