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 –
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:

Guest
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 – Incidence of Postoperative Delirium in Cancer Patients After Laparoscopic Surgery in Trendelenburg Position
Postoperative delirium is an acute mental syndrome that is caused by diffuse cerebral
dysfunction resulting from the action of predisposing and precipitating factors acting
together. It is associated with an increase in mortality and postoperative morbidity and
prolongs the period of hospitalization of the patient Videolaparoscopic surgery has been
increasingly used as a therapeutic and diagnostic method. In order to have a good
visualization of the anatomical structures on which it will act, it is necessary to introduce
gas into the cavity, a mandatory component known as pneumoperitoneum. This technique gives
special characteristics for the conduction of anesthesia, since the positive intra-abdominal
pressure results in changes in the patient’s physiology. Some types of laparoscopic surgery
require the position of Trendelenburg for better visualization of the operative field. Among
the changes related to this position are the increase in cardiac output and intracranial
pressure.
In order to optimize the anesthetic procedure, anesthetic blocks have been increasingly used,
especially the spinal. The association of general anesthesia with spinal anesthesia, followed
by its contraindications is advantageous, because lower doses of anesthetic agents are
necessary for the maintenance of general anesthesia. This association results in an earlier
awakening, a reduction of nausea / vomiting, postoperative pain, length of hospital stay,
cost effectiveness and greater patient satisfaction. As a disadvantage, by associating
general anesthesia with spinal anesthesia, patients become susceptible to the adverse events
of spinal anesthesia. Among these, the most common are headache, hypotension, nausea and
vomiting, pruritus, urinary retention and tremor. Performing spinal anesthesia with opioids
alone, without the use of local anesthetic is also possible, with morphine being the most
used. The benefit of this variation of technique is analgesia for a period of 12 to 24 hours,
without the cardiovascular consequences resulting from the action of the local anesthetic.
JUSTIFICATION: There are no studies in the literature evaluating The objective of this study
is to analyze if the anesthetic techniques employed, general anesthesia or general anesthesia
associated with subarachnoid block, for videolaparoscopic oncologic surgeries, in
Trendelenburg position, differ in relation to the incidence of delirium in the postoperative
period.
Incense burning smoke sensitizes lung cancer cells to EGFR TKI by inducing AREG expression.
Abstract: Incense burning is common in Asian countries due to the religious beliefs. Environmental exposure to incense burning smoke is a potential risk factor for tumor development and progression of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Eastern Asia ethnic origin is...
