HBOT Conversations:
Dr. Peter Canaday (Part 2)
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 Network welcomes Dr. Peter Canaday.
This is Part 2 of Conversations with Dr. Peter Canaday. Part 1 can be viewed here. 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 continues the discussion on COVID-19 vaccines and the suppression of medical data. di Girolamon asks the question, “where do we go from here?”. Dr. Canaday explains that Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is one of the most exciting things that has piqued his interest in the medical field. He explains that huge numbers are really starting to be revealed of people who have been negatively affected by COVID, either from the point of long-COVID or from a vaccine injury; and Hyperbaric Oxygen could be potentially very helpful to this population, as it is a natural therapy involving oxygen and pressure that upregulates the anti-inflammatory gene and down regulates the inflammatory gene.
However, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy threatens the pharmaceutical companies bottom line and when that happens we all start to see some pretty disturbing things start surfacing — such as the science being buried, fake studies being published showing HBOT to be ineffective, major medical Journals rejecting scientific articles outlining all the adverse affects from the vaccine.
The spirit of humanity needs to be embraced here, and it is not.
Dr. Canaday encourages viewers to learn more at www.nzdsos.com — it’s “New Zealand Doctors Speaking Out with Science“. The NZDSOS is very similar to America’s Frontline Doctors and there is a plethora of educational information that can be learned regarding what happened during the COVID-19 pandemic and is still happening today. Dr. Canaday further encourages us all to open our eyes, hearts and ears as we listen and digest to all of this information. Often times, it’s when doctors keep getting shut down and censored that we all need to be listening closer instead of turning the other cheek.
Dr. Canaday and di Girolamo stresses that everyone should be looking into the God-given miracle of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. Be sure to find a treatment center near you if you are experiencing effects of long-COVID or a vaccine injury.

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.

Frequency and clinical impact of preoperative circulating tumor cells in resectable non-metastatic lung adenocarcinomas.
Abstract: Despite successful surgery, 30-50% of patients with resectable non-small cell lung cancer develop tumor recurrence within 5 years of surgery. In this prospective study, we performed CTC enumerations in 40 patients with non-metastatic lung adenocarcinoma...
Clinical Trial – Fixed Dose Spinal Bupivacaine for Cesarean Delivery
The study is designed to compare the effectiveness of spinal anesthesia performed with fixed
dose of hyperbaric bupivacaine regardless of patient’s height and weight and anesthesia with
the dose of bupivacaine that is adjusted to their height. Our clinical experience shows that
spinal anesthesia using specific, relatively high dose of hyperbaric bupivacaine combined
with opioid is very effective, regardless of parturient’s weight and height, provides very
good surgical conditions and assures patient’s comfort while the rate of anesthesia – related
complications is similar or less. Therefore, using height-adjusted protocols, although
preferred in some centres, might not be necessary in order to provide good anaesthesia for
cesarean delivery. Fixed dose regimen may have some additional advantages in obstetric
anesthesia settings, as many of cesareans are performed out of hours, giving less room for
mistakes in less experienced hands.
Two groups of parturients undergoing cesarean section are to be compared: anesthetized with
fixed-dose regimen (intervention group) and anesthetized with height-adjusted dose regimen
(control group). Patients are going to be randomized to one of the above groups, two
anesthetists will be involved in anesthetic procedure: anesthetist that looks after the
patient throughout the procedure will be blinded to the dose of anesthetic given
intrathecally. Therefore his judgment of anesthetic effectiveness is not going to be biased
and all patients will receive the same perioperative care in terms of fluid therapy,
management of possible anesthesia – related complications and postoperative pain control.
Rate of effective spinal anesthetics, defined as adequate block level and no need for
additional intraoperative analgesia has been established as primary outcome measure.
Secondary outcome measures are rate of complications and amount of opioids used
postoperatively. These are going to be statistically compared.
Clinical Trial – a Small Dose of Naloxone,Minimize Intrathecal Morphine Side Effects
I.V naloxone decreases incidence and severity of the common morphine side effects (pruritis,
nausea/emesis, constipation, urinary retention, respiratory depression and undesirable
sedation) so using it as additive to intrathecal morphine in patients undergoing anal
surgeries under spinal anesthesia may be beneficail
