The Anatomical Foundations Of Regional Anesthesia And Acute Pain Medicine Macroanatomy Microanatomy Sonoanatomy Functional Anatomy

Although the timeless quote of Alon Winnie (ASRA Founding Father), that regional anesthesia is simply an exercise in applied anatomy, rings true and will continue to ring true for many years to come, we now have a better understanding of the micro- and ultrastructure of the nerves and the anatomical features – membranes, fascia, fascial planes, and barriers – that surround them. With this understanding on an anatomical basis, anesthesiologists can now better appreciate the reasoning behind why pain blocks sometimes fail; or where the “sweet spot” of a nerve is and how to find it; or why epidural blocks are segmental while subarachnoid blocks are not; or why older patients are less prone to postdural puncture headache, and many more issues of regional anesthesia and pain medicine. The Anatomical Foundations of Regional Anesthesia and Acute Pain Medicine is a textbook which explains the sensory function of each nerve in the human body in detail, including the motor function. The textbook also features detailed information on nerve sonoanatomy. This textbook is written and designed to convey practical working knowledge of the macro-, micro-, sono-, and functional anatomy required for regional anesthesia and acute pain medicine in an accessible manner through the use of detailed illustrations, (anatomical figures, diagrams and tables), with simplified legends and videos that allow readers to understand concepts – such as percutaneuous nerve mapping and nerve blockade access – in a dynamic manner. The extensive reference lists adequately complement the knowledge provided in the text. The book is essential for all medical graduates and training anesthesiologists seeking to understand the basics and detailed nuances of nerve anatomy and regional anesthesia.

A compendium of practical regional anesthesia anatomy compiled by team of doctors with countless years of experience, led by the creator of the fabled RASCI; Featuring 120 illustrations, diagrams, radiographs, 53 gross anatomical dissections and microscopic images, and a whopping 74 instructional ultrasound images. It integrates macroanatomy, microanatomy, sonoanatomy and functional anatomy in 1 manageable reference for both the novice and expert alike, with supplementary instructional videos available. A navigation tool to guide the student of regional anesthesia through the anatomic secrets of the human body, featuring the stellar illustrations of Mary K. Bryson, the volume is a convenient size to readily consult, and is also available in digital formats. One of the essential reads for all medical graduates and training anesthesiologists seeking to understand both the basics and detailed nuances of nerve anatomy and regional anesthesia.

This Complete Third Edition is an easy to study extension of the very successful previous Primers, and includes information on and discussion of macro-, micro- and sonoanatomy; of extreme value are the references to various videos depicting the nervous system anatomy and the different blocks that serve patients best. André Boezaart and his colleagues have compiled this essential resource for anyone who needs a more comprehensive understanding of the complexities of the nervous system anatomy as it applies to regional anesthesia and acute pain medicine. With over four decades of personal experience researching, practicing, and teaching in these specific areas, together with over 150 years combined experience of the co-authors, Professor Boezaart, et al. are best qualified to bring this essential resource to the perpetual student.

"Students and practitioners of regional anesthesia and acute pain medicine often ask how they can be consistently as successful with their blocks as the true experts are. Too often do scholars focus on learning techniques of RA and APM from experts, and t"

A comprehensive full-color anatomical atlas designed specifically for the anesthesiologist and pain physician A clear understanding of relevant anatomy is essential for physicians who wish to master ultrasound-guided nerve blocks. Although ultrasound images may help visualize the nerve to be blocked, the images still present a grainy and incomplete picture. Physicians looking to master US-guided nerve blocks are best served by becoming anatomical experts -- and this innovative resource is an invaluable learning tool to doing just that. In addition to 2D and 3D ultrasound images, Atlas of Sonoanatomy for Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine includes high-resolution CTs, MRIs, cadaver anatomy images, and anatomical illustrations to give physicians a comprehensive understanding of the anatomy of the neck, upper and lower extremity, trunk, thorax, thoracic spine, sacral spine, lumbar paravertebral region, and thoracic paravertebral region that are relevant to ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia. Features • Bulleted pearls impart how to obtain optimal ultrasound images at each site • More than 600 full-color photographs and illustrations throughout • Essential for anesthesiologists and pain physicians, and is also of value to musculoskeletal sonographers, radiologists, and emergency medicine physicians •Enables you to learn and see, through full-color illustrations, the relevant anatomy for administering successful nerve blocks • Includes CT and MRI correlations to ultrasound images, plus corresponding anatomical illustrations, cadaver anatomy, and photos of probe placement on the patient. Although other texts may provide some of the imaging information contained in this unique atlas, this is the first resource to systematically and comprehensively gather all the imaging modalities for side-by-side comparison under one cover.

This eBook addresses the impact of prenatal exposure to alcohol, and Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD). It presents a compilation of current research by leading experts in the field and serves as a guide to future directions in FASD research, interventions and treatment. the book includes a comprehensive compendium of our knowledge of the dangers of prenatal alcohol exposure and covers ways to screen and intervene with pregnant women, diagnosis and treatment to ameliorate the effects of prenatal alcohol exposure (through the lifespan), and other related issues, such as building a state infrastructure of health services and legislation. the eBook is intended as a textbook for graduate courses relevant to FASD.

Awake thoracic surgery is a new surgical field that is set to expand in the near future. Employing sole epidural or local anaesthesia in fully awake patients renders many thoracic surgical procedures doable with less invasiveness and general anaesthesia r
