"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, MD, Anesthesia & Analgesia, June 2008From 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), June 2008)
"The author is consistent with his stepwise approach to convey an easy and clear method in performing the various blocks Anatomical dissections, corresponding magnetic resonance imaging images, and ultrasound images are used for comparison to provide clinicians with a comprehensive view of anatomy an excellent resource for any clinician performing regional blocks." (Steven R. Clendenen, Anesthesiology, Vol. 109 (4), October 2008)
"Novices to ultrasound will find the chapter on Ultrasound Basics particularly useful, as it clearly outlines many aspects of ultrasound imaging, such as transducer choice, scanning frequency, optimizing needle visibility, and needle tracking. In conclusion, Atlas of Ultrasound and Nerve Stimulation-Guided Regional Anesthesia has a wealth of practical information for both students and seasoned anesthesiologists. As such, the atlas fills the vacuum in the literature on modern regional anesthesia techniques, and, as such, it should deserve a spot in every anesthesiologist’s library."
