Regional nerve blocks are important procedures in anaesthesia
and pain therapy that can be employed rapidly and safely by a
skilled practitioner.

The book contains precise anatomical drawings and illustrations
in full-colour throughout, and also provides detailed instructions
on how to apply local anaesthesia.

Practically oriented, the book could almost be taken to the
operating room and used as a guide. It covers anatomy, indications,
contraindications, dosages, explanations of individual drugs, as
well as complications, caveats, and potential adverse side effects,
and how to avoid them or treat them.

Each procedure is explained step-by-step using numerous
full-colour illustrations and photographs. Every block has a
photograph showing the entry site accompanied by an anatomical
diagram showing the needle track. For each procedure, a specific
form (record and checklist) is provided for recording the
individual treatment steps. The author presents both familiar and
new therapeutic techniques for both the treatment of pain and
regional nerve blocks during surgery. In addition, the most recent
local anaesthetics and additives are discussed, with particular
reference to the relevant indications and dosages.
