Regional anaesthesia is used across specialties within anaesthesia, and is a rapidly growing sub-specialty. This new handbook covers both traditional and ultrasound guided techniques, concentrating on the differences between them. Offering readers a comprehensive overview for clinical practice, it includes paediatric and acute pain applications. Each topic covers anatomy, contraindications, landmark/US settings, technique, complications, and clinical notes. Discrete sections on pharmacology, principles, and training further the book's use for teaching purposes.
It will appeal to both trainees and consultants in regional anaesthesia, as well as anaesthetic nurses and anaesthetic practitioners. Presented in the Oxford Specialist Handbook series, it offers practical advice as well as background information in a convenient pocket-sized title.
Regional Anaesthesia, Stimulation, and Ultrasound Techniques is a comprehensive overview of this exciting sub-specialty addressed in the Oxford Specialist Handbook format. Over 200 illustrations and 50 chapters provide practical guidance and tips.
This handbook is an essential pocket book for trainees undertaking the Royal College of Anaesthetists examinations (FRCA), advanced regional anaesthesia fellowships, the European Diploma of Regional Anaesthesia (EDRA) examinations, and while on regional anaesthesia rotation during their training. The book will also come in handy as a quick reference for blocks that an anaesthetist does not perform on a regular basis.
