Product Review
From the reviews:
"This is an excellent book on ultrasound guided regional anesthesia. This book is useful for any anesthesiologist who practices regional anesthesia either in adults or in children. The author is a well known authority in the field and recruited some well known experts as consultant editors. This is an extremely valuable addition to the field. It is practically a compilation of all that we know about ultrasound guided regional anesthesia." (Tariq M. Malik, Doody's Review Service, February 2008)
"A comprehensive and well-illustrated reference on the latest achievements in nerve stimulation and ultrasonography-guided nerve block techniques in regional anesthesia. Overall, the completeness of the book based on the most current technological advances in the field of regional anesthesia is laudable. This atlas represents an excellent educational tool for both neophytes and teachers of ultrasound and nerve stimulation-guided regional anesthesia. At the same time, it embodies a reference book of outstanding value for the more proficient regional anesthesiologists." (Jovan Popovic, Anesthesia and Analgesia, Vol. 106 (6), 2008)
Product Description
There are few situations in anesthesia where precise anatomic location is more important than in regional anesthesia. But, of course, any anesthesiologist who performs regional on a regular basis is fully aware of the frustration of attempting to locate nerves on a trial and error basis. Ultrasound imaging now enables us to visualize nerves, and this exciting technology offers several distinct benefits over conventional nerve locating techniques. The Atlas of Ultrasound and Nerve Stimulation-Guided Regional Anesthesia illustrates how to use ultrasound technology and nerve stimulation techniques to achieve consistently good results. Throughout the book, ultrasound images are correlated with MRI images to enhance anatomic identification. In addition, peripheral nerve block techniques for upper and lower extremities and the trunk are demonstrated step-by-step. With the luxury of being able to actually see the target nerve and the course of the needle as it approaches that nerve, anesthesiologists can now perform regional anesthesia with much greater accuracy. This approach allows the anesthesiologist to conduct regional anesthesia with much greater confidence and efficiency and in doing so the patient is the ultimate beneficiary in terms of success and safety.
