Regional Anaesthesia

This book provides a broad clinical guide to regional anaesthesia for readers undertaking oral examinations such as the EDRA (part 2) or those seeking a general overview of this growing area of practice. The book begins with anatomy basics and an emphasis on surface landmarks along with coverage of various nerve blocks, ultrasound guided landmarks and identification of the pertinent structures.
Regional Anaesthesia – A Practical Guide to Clinical Exams includes clinical cases for regional or general anaesthesia with the benefits and complications discussed for either modality of anaesthesia. The cases provide an overview of many aspects of peripheral and central nerve blocks with a diverse population of clinical groups including the elderly, paediatric and obstetric patients. The book concludes with discussion around identification of complications, initial management and long-term management for both peripheral nerve blocks and central neuraxial blocks.
