"Despite its multi-author nature, there is a uniformity to the structure of the book, and the editor is to be commended for the seamless fusion of what are presumably disparate writing styles. ...In summary, Atlas of Ultrasound-Guided Regional Anesthesia, 3rd Edition is an expertly written text enriched by an abundance of high-quality ultrasound images." --Canadian Journal of Anesthesia

Step-by-step videos and images, board-style review questions, and coverage of new blocks make this highly respected title a must-have reference for clinical practice. Written by Andrew T. Gray, MD, PhD, one of the pioneers of the use of ultrasound to guide needle placement, Atlas of Ultrasound-Guided Regional Anesthesia, 3rd Edition, shows you how to safely and effectively use the latest methods and applications of this technique.

  • Board-style review questions
  • found on the Expert Consult eBook version test your knowledge and help you prepare for the ABA exam.
  • Helps ensure correct needle placement with numerous 3-D and long-axis views that clearly depict surrounding structures.
  • Includes coverage of 11 new blocks: Adductor Canal, Posterior Femoral Cutaneous, Pectoral, Quadratus Lumborum, Pudendal, Paravertebral, Transversus thoracis, Supraorbital, Transtracheal, Greater Occipital and Lesser Occipital.
  • Features access to 20 author-narrated videos showing proper placement of needles using ultrasound guidance, including 11 new videos: Forearm (ulnar, median and radial), Ankle (tibial, saphenous, superficial peroneal, deep peroneal, sural), Paravertebral, Adductor Canal, and Catheters.
  • Presents several new chapters, including Regional Anesthesia in Resource-Constrained Environments and Safety of Ultrasound Guided Regional Blocks.
  • Expert Consult™ eBook version included with purchase. This enhanced eBook experience allows you to search all of the text, figures, and references from the book on a variety of devices.
