Riassunto

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.

LEARN FROM THE WORLD AUTHORITIES

From the experts at the New York School of Regional Anesthesia -- one of the world’s leading programs for practice, education, and research in the field - comes this concise, full-color tutorial for mastering or updating your expertise in nerve block techniques. Featuring 350 illustrations, including 175 life-like, full-color clinical photographs of actual patients, Peripheral Nerve Blocks provides the most practical, state-of-the-art guidance for most major nerve block procedures. A standardized, user-friendly format provides meticulous, step-by-step instructions for each procedure including:

*General Considerations
*Indications
*Functional Anatomy
*Patient Positioning
*Equipment
*Choice of Local Anesthetic
*Distribution of Anesthesia
*Surface and Anatomical Landmarks
*Single Shot and Continuous Techniques
*Complications and How to Avoid Them

All chapters begin with a unique “Block at a Glance” feature that serves as a "flash card" and conveniently lists the most important, salient features of each block such as: indications, landmarks, equipment, anesthetic, and level of complexity. In addition, a separate “Keys To Success with Nerve Blocks” chapter conveniently summarizes general guidelines for selection of techniques.

FEATURES:
*Clear, accurate, step-by-step instructions for most major nerve block procedures in real patients
*Numerous detailed and clinically insightful descriptions and illustrations, without distracting theoretical considerations
*Brilliant, full-color original illustrations and clinical photographs that illuminate each procedure with unparalleled detail
*Numerous Tips and Goals specific to every procedure
*Tables with choice of Local Anesthetics specific for each nerve block procedure
