*40% bigger than the last edition
Regional nerve blocks are important procedures in anaesthesia and
pain therapy that can be employed rapidly and safely by a skilled
practitioner.
The book contains precise anatomical drawings and illustrations in
full-colour throughout, and also provides detailed instructions on
how to apply local anaesthesia.
Practically oriented, the book could almost be taken to the operating
room and used as a guide. It covers anatomy, indications,
contraindications, dosages, explanations of individual drugs, as well
as complications, caveats, and potential adverse side effects, and
how to avoid them or treat them.
Each procedure is explained step-by-step using numerous full-colour
illustrations and photographs. Every block has a photograph showing
the entry site accompanied by an anatomical diagram showing the
needle track. For each procedure, a specific form (record and
checklist) is provided for recording the individual treatment steps.
The author presents both familiar and new therapeutic techniques for
both the treatment of pain and regional nerve blocks during surgery.
In addition, the most recent local anaesthetics and additives are
discussed, with particular reference to the relevant indications and
dosages.
