In recent years the field of regional anesthesia, in particular peripheral and neuraxial nerve blocks, has seen an unprecedented renaissance following the introduction of ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia. This comprehensive, richly illustrated book discusses traditional techniques as well as ultrasound-guided methods for nerve blocks and includes detailed yet easy-to-follow descriptions of regional anesthesia procedures. The description of each block is broken down into the following sections: definition; anatomy; indications; contraindications; technique; drug choice and dosage; side effects; potential complications and how to avoid them; and medico-legal documentation. A checklist record for each technique and a wealth of detailed anatomical drawings and illustrations offer additional value. Regional Nerve Blocks in Anesthesia and Pain Medicine provides essential guidelines for the application of regional anesthesia in clinical practice and is intended for anesthesiologists and all specialties engaged in the field of pain therapy such as pain specialists, surgeons, orthopedists, neurosurgeons, neurologists, general practitioners, and nurse anesthetists.
This book illustrates ultrasound and guided nerve stimulation techniques to achieve consistently good anesthesia results. Also included are demonstrations of peripheral nerve block techniques for the trunk, and upper and lower extremities. Images are correlated with MRIs for better anatomic identification.
This short text addresses complications of regional anesthesia and pain medicine. Each chapter is written by an expert in the area and follows a strict format: Definition of the complication, Scope of the problem, Pathophysiology or proposed mechanism of causation, Risk factors, Diagnostic evaluation, Prevention, Treatment and rehabilitation, Summary. Emphasis in each chapter is placed around what levels of evidence the recommendations in the chapter carry. The complications covered in regional anesthesia include complications in neuraxis and peripheral nerve blocks. There is also a section on complications associated with unintended local anesthetic destinations. The complications in pain medicine include complications of acute pain management, of sympathetic blocks, of neuraxis approaches and device placement. The first edition was published by Elsevier. They have returned copyright to Rathmell and Neal, who will turn it over to us. The audience includes anesthesiologists, pain medicine specialists, and neurologists.
