About this title

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.
