Features:
- The first book to correlate ultrasound and MR images
- Helps anesthesiologists become familiar with anatomy as it appears in ultrasound
- Combines ultrasound and nerve stimulation-guided techniques
The Atlas of Ultrasound and Nerve Stimulation-Guided Regional Anesthesia illustrates how to use ultrasound technology and nerve stimulation techniques to achieve consistently good results.
Throughout the book, ultrasound images are correlated with MRI images to enhance anatomic identification. In addition, peripheral nerve block techniques for upper and lower extremities and the trunk are demonstrated step-by-step.
Well-illustrated comparisons of anatomic drawings, cadaveric images, and ultrasound and MRI images.
- Detailed description of relevant anatomy followed by a clinical description of performing ultrasound imaging and subsequent blockade of target nerves
- Side-by-side comparison of labeled and unlabeled ultrasound images simulating the clinician’s experience in everyday practice
- Both common and alternative approaches are discussed in detail, each discussion calling upon the wisdom of experts in the field of regional anesthesia
- Clinical pearls about needle adjustment included in troubleshooting tables in the nerve stimulation sections
