Editorial Reviews

Doody's Core Titles® 2022

"Despite its multi-author nature, there is a uniformity to the structure of the book, and the editor is to be commended for the seamless fusion of what are presumably disparate writing styles. ...In summary, Atlas of Ultrasound-Guided Regional Anesthesia, 3rd Edition is an expertly written text enriched by an abundance of high-quality ultrasound images." —Canadian Journal of Anesthesia

From the Publisher

Reviewer: Tariq M. Malik, MD (University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine)
Description: This is a wonderful collection of ultrasound-guided nerve block techniques accompanied by detailed video clips. This update of the 2012 edition adds chapters to cover additional truncal and head and neck blocks and incorporates new information. The ebook version and the video clips are easily accessible via the Expert Consult website.
Purpose: The purpose is to provide a comprehensive audiovisual guide to ultrasound-guided nerve blocks. All aspects of ultrasound techniques from machine, to imaging techniques, to anatomical interpretation of tissues are described with great clarity. The online version is of great help making this book easily available for review and consultation.
Audience: The audience is anesthesia physicians both during training and when in practice. It is suitable for any physicians who practice regional anesthesia regardless of their experience. The author is a renowned expert and teacher in the field of regional anesthesia.
Features: The 75 different topics the book covers are broadly grouped into seven sections. The first section covers principles of sound-based image reconstruction by the machine. It discusses maneuvering of probes and various needle approaches to optimize injection techniques. The second section reviews the imaging of various structures that usually surround nerves. The next four sections cover practically every nerve block under the sun in the upper and lower limbs, head and neck area, and trunk. Each block is covered succinctly, in a few lines, with plenty of images, illustrations, and pictures to go with the text. At the end, the book reviews safety issues like injection related nerve injury as well local anesthetic complications. It also goes over their etiology and practical tips to reduce their incidence. The book ends with a set of questions for self-assessment.
Assessment: This is an excellent book on regional anesthesia. It is well written and edited, concise and to the point, with plenty of visual aids in the form of images and videos. This is all one needs to practice ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia. It would be hard to improve on this book. It is a must-buy and a must-read for every anesthesia resident.
