Regional Anesthesia and Acute Pain Medicine: A Problem-Based Learning Approach

by Nabil Elkassabany (Editor), Eman Nada (Editor), Magdalena Anitescu (Editor)

Overview

Regional Anesthesia and Acute Pain Medicine: A Problem-Based Learning Approach provides a comprehensive review of regional anesthesia and acute pain medicine for medical learners to integrate theoretical knowledge into clinical practice. Its problem-based format incorporates a pool of multiple-choice questions for self-assessment. Each of its 50 case-based chapters is accompanied by questions and answers accessible online in a full practice exam. These chapters cover several areas such as pharmacology, obstetric and pediatric regional anesthesia, complex acute pain problems, anticoagulation, and regional anesthesia and complicated nerve blocks. The cases presented are also unique, as each chapter starts with a case description, usually a compilation of several actual cases, which branches out through case-based questions to increasingly complex situations. This structure is designed to create an authentic experience mirroring the nuances of a complicated clinical scenario. The discussion sections that follow offer a comprehensive approach to the chapter's subject matter, thus creating a modern, complete, and up-to-date medical review of the topic.

Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Matthew Silverman, MD (Yale School of Medicine)
Description: This book educates readers on regional anesthesia using a problem-based approach, discussing specific cases that highlight anesthetic options for managing pain. Each subsection concludes with a set of questions and detailed explanations to reinforce concepts.
Purpose: The purpose of the book is to offer various means of treating pain, focusing on the advantages and disadvantages of regional anesthesia. It presents different pain management options contiguously, enabling readers to make comparisons when faced with similar problems. The book meets its objectives by providing a balanced approach to the clinical problems of pain and anesthetic care.
Audience: The book is written at an appropriate level for residents and fellows, yet those with several years of experience will also learn from the material. Anesthesiologists who read this book will learn new approaches and management options for clinical issues. The authors are credible, and several are internationally recognized. The chapter contributors have an extensive history of publishing research in their respective fields.
Features: The book uses case-based learning to present various surgical procedures and anesthetic options for managing pain. While the primary focus of the book is regional anesthesia, neuraxial anesthesia, and local anesthetics, it also provides a thorough presentation of medical management. The layout of the book is a highlight and is unique among various texts in regional anesthesia. The case-based model encourages reflection and reinforces the information, presenting options with their risks and benefits. The graphics are outstanding; they complement the text and solidify the concepts discussed in the chapters. Owing to the various authors and contributors, the writing styles differ in each chapter, which makes the book difficult to read. In addition, many of the ultrasound images are dark and unclear.
Assessment: The unique nature of this book renders it a must-have for regional anesthesia. It is comprehensive in its approach to procedures and includes a greater description of surgery compared to other regional anesthesia texts. The presentation of anesthetic options and techniques is rewarding, as it enables readers to compare approaches and options for new techniques.
