4 STAR DOODY'S REVIEW! "The book can serve as an introduction, a refresher, or a supplement, depending on the experience and background of the reader. The authors are well regarded for their teaching, research, and clinical abilities....The book covers basic and advanced regional anesthesia techniques. It includes mostly classic approaches, but also offers some novel techniques for both single shot and continuous nerve blockade. The illustrations are superb, especially those that reveal the underlying structures, providing an almost three-dimensional view of the relevant anatomy."--Doody's Review Service Authored by the world's leading authorities, this is an authoritative, full-color instructional manual for mastering nerve block techniques. Beautifully illustrated with 350 color illustrations, including 175 clinical photographs of actual patients.

This atlas is a practical guide for practitioners who perform interventional procedures with radiographic guidance to alleviate acute or chronic pain. The author provides an overview of each technique, with detailed full-color illustrations of the relevant anatomy, technical aspects of each treatment, and a description of potential complications. For this revised and expanded Second Edition, the author also discusses indications for each technique, as well as medical evidence on the technique's applicability. The new edition features original drawings by a noted medical artist and for the first time includes three-dimensional CT images that correlate with the radiographic images and illustrations for a fuller understanding of the relevant anatomy.

Ultrasound technology is enabling anesthesiologists to perform regional anesthetic procedures with greater confidence in accuracy and precision. With improvements in visualizing neural anatomy and needle movement, ultrasound guidance improves patient safety and operating room efficiency. This book offers a detailed, stepwise approach to this technique, identifying pearls and pitfalls to ensure success. Topics are organized into four chapters. The first chapter provides the basic principles behind ultrasound guided regional anesthesia, setting a strong context for the rest of the book. The last three cover the nerve blocks: upper extremity, lower extremity, and chest, trunk and spine. Each nerve block is comprehensively explained, divided up by introduction, anatomy, clinical applications, technique, alternate techniques, complications, and pearls. This new edition includes discussions of 6 new blocks: the suprascapular block, axillary nerve block for shoulder surgery, fascia iliaca block, lateral femoral cutaneous block, and the adductor canal block. This edition also contains over 40 new procedural and imaging figures, an appendix on what blocks to perform for specific surgeries, and new information on choice of local anesthetic agent, types of catheters and practical ultrasound physics to help improve scanning. Ultrasound Guided Regional Anesthesia provides authoritative, in-depth coverage of ultrasound guided regional anesthesia for the anesthesiologist beginning to use ultrasound and makes a great reference for the more seasoned physician.

The 2nd Edition of this popular text is revised and updated to provide the information readers need to deepen their understanding and to better apply regional techniques to the full range of patients, surgical operations, and diagnostic and therapeutic pain procedures. Expert contributors emphasize regional anesthesia and analgesia techniques and their practical clinical application. This edition includes a number of new techniques and the addition of 5 new chapters on facet block, sacroiliac block, superior hypogastric plexus block, infraclavicular block, and cervical, thoracic, and prolonged catheter block. Features new and revised illustrations!
