Overview
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. The well-established author team use their experience to provide a practical and stimulating book which reflects everyday clinical activity, supplemented by high definition ultrasound images and schematic diagrams. The book will also discuss 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.

`by high-definition ultrasound images and schematic diagrams.' Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, May 2013
This book is unique in the way it successfully combines the theory and practice of nerve blocks. 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.
