Step-by-step illustrations demonstrate each technique in a simple, easy-to-follow manner, providing unmatched guidance on administering a wide range of nerve block techniques in all areas of the body. New videos, new illustrations, and new chapters improve your knowledge and expertise in all areas of this fast-changing field.
- Covers the full range of key regional anesthesia topics, including anatomy, local anesthetic pharmacology, traditional landmark-based and ultrasound-guided blocks, pediatric regional anesthesia, and chronic pain procedures.
- Features step-by-step instruction highlighted by superb artwork, new anatomical drawings, and clinical photographs.
- Presents a wide variety of images to help you develop a 3-dimensional concept of anatomy essential to successful regional anesthesia: cross-sectional anatomy, illustrations of gross and surface anatomy, and updated ultrasound, CT, and MRI scans.
- Includes access to an enhanced video collection with dozens of new and updated videos that provided real-time, narrated guidance on each nerve block.
- Contains 14 new chapters and all-new coverage of precapsular nerve group (PENG) block, axillary nerve block, the use of ultrasound for upper airway blocks, cervical paraspinal interfacial plane blocks for cervical spine surgeries, regional blocks that preserve the diaphragmatic function after shoulder surgery, and more.
- An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud. Additional digital ancillary content may publish up to 6 weeks following the publication date.
