Synopsis

The fourth edition of this highly successful resource discusses the practical applications of the various methods of regional anaesthesia, including ultrasound, as well as giving an account of their theoretical aspects. The well-established author team use their experience to provide a practical and stimulating resource which reflects everyday clinical activity, supplemented by high definition ultrasound images and schematic diagrams. The resource also discusses the place of regional anaesthesia in current medical practice, particularly with regard to pain processes, ultrasound imaging, and patient outcomes.

Regional anaesthesia is a rapidly expanding sub-speciality of anaesthesia: routine provision of long-lasting pain relief and the introduction of real-time ultrasound block has fuelled a demand for cadaver and ultrasound-based anatomy training courses. Thus, it is more important than ever to have a thorough grounding in this exciting subspecialty.

This online version allows access to the full content of the textbook, provides links from all references through to primary research journal articles, allows full text searches and access to the figures that can be downloaded for PowerPoint presentations.

Review:

...a fantastically detailed book that goes beyond the basics of regional anaesthesia... It will no doubt attract a wide readership, not least from anaesthetists with a specialist interest in regional anaesthesia, but will also provide valuable background reading for trainees studying for the FRCA and ESRA exams. * European Journal of Anaesthesiology, August 2013 * In summary, Principles and Practice of Regional Anaesthesia provides a broad and well-arranged overview of basic knowledge and different techniques of regional anaesthesia... It also reflects the styles of the various international authors, which may differ from country to country. Nevertheless, the book is a useful teaching aid for trainees and consultants in any clinical setting. * British Journal of Anaesthesia, August 2013 * The fourth edition of this highly successful textbook discusses the practical applications of the various methods of regional anaesthesia, including ultrasound, as well as giving an account of their theoretical aspects.

It details all the important know-how and the technical information needed for the safe practice of regional anesthesia. The small size and clear way of communicating makes this book useful for physicians who want to learn and/or improve their regional anesthesia skills. * Doody's Notes, April 2013 * The fourth edition of this highly successful textbook discusses the practical applications of the various methods of regional anaesthesia, including ultrasound, as well as giving an account of their theoretical aspects.
