Description
Dr. Brown-along with 59 nationally recognized authorities-provide all of the information readers need to deepen their understanding and better apply regional techniques to the full range of patients, surgical operations, and diagnostic and therapeutic pain procedures. Five main sections proceed logically from the development of regional anaesthesia to basic science to induction to side effects, complications and concurrent medical problems to clinical applications. Section 5 includes sub-sections on regional techniques for surgery and the sub-specialities, acute pain, obstetric pain and chronic pain-making this the perfect resource. From the Preface: " The emphasis of this book is on regional anesthesia and analgesia techniques and their practical clinical application."
