Dr. Peter Lindholm is an eminence in Hyperbaric Medicine and the approach to Respiratory Disorders. His research has been focused on the Pathophysiology of Lung Diving, exploring topics such as Hypoxia and loss of consciousness.  

Specifically, this expert has analyzed in depth the effects of the medical condition known as Lungsqueeze, frequent in divers. Among his most important contributions in this area is a detailed review of how glossopharyngeal breathing can extend lung capacity beyond normal limits. In addition, he described the first case series linking glossopharyngeal insufflation with cerebral gas embolism.  

At the same time, he has been a pioneer in proposing the term Tracheal Squeeze as an alternative to pulmonary edema in divers who bleed after deep dives. On the other hand, the specialist has shown that exercise and fasting before diving increase the risk of loss of consciousness, similar to hyperventilation. In this way, he has developed an innovative method to use Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the diagnosis of Pulmonary Embolism. In the same way, he has delved into new techniques for measuring hyperbaric oxygen therapy. 

Dr. Lindholm also serves as Director of the Endowed Gurneee Chair of Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine Research in the Department of Emergency Medicine at the University of California, San Diego, United States. Likewise, this renowned expert spent several years at Karolinska University Hospital. In that institution he worked as Director of Thoracic Radiology. He also has vast experience in diagnosis by means of clinical imaging based on radiation, and has even given lectures on the subject at the prestigious Karolinska Institute in Sweden. He is also a regular speaker at international conferences and has numerous scientific publications.
