Ultrasound technology is revolutionizing the field of anesthesiology, empowering practitioners to conduct regional anesthetic procedures with enhanced confidence in precision and accuracy. This comprehensive book offers an in-depth, step-by-step guide to mastering this technique, highlighting key insights and potential pitfalls to ensure successful application.
The book is organized into four chapters. The initial chapter elucidates the fundamental principles of ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia, laying a robust foundation for the rest of the book. The subsequent three chapters delve into the specifics of nerve blocks, including those for the upper extremity, lower extremity, and the chest, trunk, and spine. Each nerve block is explained exhaustively, segmented into an introduction, anatomy, clinical applications, techniques, alternate methods, complications, and beneficial tips.
This updated edition introduces six new blocks: the suprascapular block, axillary nerve block for shoulder surgery, fascia iliaca block, lateral femoral cutaneous block, and the adductor canal block. It also boasts over 40 new procedural and imaging figures. An added appendix provides guidance on which blocks to apply for specific surgeries, and new insights on the choice of local anesthetic agent, types of catheters, and practical ultrasound physics to enhance scanning proficiency.
“Ultrasound Guided Regional Anesthesia” provides authoritative, comprehensive coverage of ultrasound guided regional anesthesia. It’s an invaluable resource for anesthesiologists starting to use ultrasound and a handy reference for the more experienced practitioner.
