Regional anesthesia is a fast-growing field, fuelled by the application of ultrasound technology over the last decade. This book is a technique-oriented guide, which introduces the use of ultrasound technology with practical instruction in the placement of peripheral nerve blocks and continuous perineural catheters. Each procedure is summarized for quick, easy reference, and supplemented by ultrasound images, color photos, and detailed illustrations. Helpful hints and instructions are provided to further optimize block success. Chapters are organized into four sections, focusing on introductory concepts, upper extremity peripheral nerve blocks, lower extremity peripheral nerve blocks and continuous perineural catheters. Written by instructors from a major academic medical center who work in a fast-paced ambulatory setting, this is a key text for residents, fellows and staff physicians who wish to incorporate the use of ultrasound into the scope of their anesthetic practice.

This handbook is an up-to-date, evidence based quick, easy reference guide for expert regional anesthesia providers. It will also be an invaluable tool and a great entry point for amateurs' sonographers who wish to understand the basics of ultrasound, its uses for diagnosis and treatment, current guidelines and standards of care. It presents in details challenges, stratification of risks, techniques, and approaches to facilitate effective ultrasound use in perioperative pain control and emergency room pain management. This uses an outline, schematic approach for easy understanding and retention. The applications of ultrasound are vast and cover the full spectrum of ultrasound guided regional anesthesia. This book concentrates and encompasses the most clinically relevant information as a first aid use of perioperative ultrasound. The chapters are concise, focusing on clinical presentations, diagnosis, differential diagnosis which will help you to deliver patient care in a timely and skillful manner. This compact book is packed with relevant, remarkable information related to ultrasound guided techniques and evidence-based protocols and latest guidelines for regional anesthesia, nerve blocks, and opioid-reducing analgesia to promote early recovery after surgery. Concise, practical, and clinically applicable for various specialties, this book fills the unmet need for understanding the usefulness and techniques of ultrasound and its application in perioperative pain management, in particular regional anesthesia and nerve blocks. This handbook enables every physician, nurse, resident and all medical staff to understand the essentials of ultrasound and regional anesthesia, its evolving techniques, and the use of modern equipment to provide patient care safely. .

This book is intended as a practical manual on the use of intraoperative ultrasound (IOUS) as a tool for imaging guidance during cranial and spinal neurosurgical procedures. Full account is taken of the emergence of novel clinical applications and recent technical advances, with extensive coverage of the impact of developments such as improved probe technology, fusion imaging and virtual navigation, 3D ultrasound imaging, contrast-enhanced ultrasound, and elastosonography. Basic principles of ultrasound are elucidated in order to assist in the optimal use of IOUS and clear guidance is provided on the interpretation of imaging findings in various pathologies. Informative comparisons are also made of the use of techniques such as fusion imaging and contrast-enhanced ultrasound in general radiology and neurosurgery. The aim of the authors is to enhance the general knowledge regarding intra-operative ultrasound brain imaging, standardizing its use and exploring new techniques, leading in some way toward compensating the lack of specific training in the application of ultrasound among the neurosurgical community. IOUS is a sensitive tool that can improve surgical precision and help to reduce morbidity.
