The management of pain can often be achieved by medications,
physical therapies, or by various procedural techniques that have
evolved in recent decades. With the trend towards more outpatient
surgeries and less invasive surgeries to decrease perioperative
risk, perioperative time, and costs, the practice of anesthesia is
evolving to utilize regional anesthesia techniques both for
inpatients and outpatients. Regional anesthesia is being performed
for outpatient surgeries, obstetric anesthesia, trauma, chronic
pain states, and for acute post-operative pain management.
Therefore, it is paramount for physicians and nurses practicing
anesthesia to understand the essentials of regional anesthesia, its
evolving techniques, and appropriate utilization of modern
equipment and technology to provide care safely. Essentials of
Regional Anesthesia, Second edition, is a concise, up-to-date,
evidence-based handbook that enables every resident, physician and
nurse to understand the basics of regional anesthesia and the
standard of care guidelines for the practice of regional anesthesia
in a comprehensive fashion. This new edition includes: * Updated
and new chapters on Ambulatory, Critical Care, and Obstetrics
topics * Full color, clear, detailed, anatomic drawings *
Clinically relevant, practical aspects of regional anesthesia *
International contributing authors who are experts in their field *
Latest ultrasound techniques and images Review of 1st edition:
"There are many books available on regional anesthesia, and the
trend is either to focus on illustrations, forgoing any discussion,
or on text descriptions, making them bulky and hard to read. This
book maintains that perfect balance between text and illustrations.
It is truly a master companion book on regional anesthesia." (Tariq
M. Malik, Doody's Book Reviews, April, 2012)
