Description

Pediatric Atlas of Ultrasound and Nerve Stimulation Guided Regional Anesthesia

Pediatric Atlas of Ultrasound and Nerve Stimulation Guided Regional Anesthesia is the first comprehensive text-atlas designed to teach pediatric anesthesiologists how to use ultrasound and nerve stimulation techniques to guide regional blockade in children. The book is structured with clinical chapters that follow a sequential and highly illustrated format, providing step-by-step guidance for each procedure. It also includes real-life cases, clinical pearls, and troubleshooting tips to assist practitioners at all levels.

The atlas features nearly 400 figures, which include ultrasound images, MRI scans, and schematics, carefully curated to enhance understanding of pediatric neuroanatomy and its relationship to surrounding anatomical structures. For those new to these techniques, the book offers a helpful side-by-side presentation of unlabeled and labeled ultrasound images, making it easier to learn how to interpret key anatomical landmarks.

The primary focus of the book is on common regional blockade approaches, with alternative methods also discussed through clinical pearls and notes. The content emphasizes the use of dynamic and systematic scanning techniques to improve block success. The book is aimed at pediatric anesthesiologists looking to incorporate regional anesthesia into their practice and serves as a valuable refresher for more experienced practitioners seeking to refine their skills.

Key features of the Pediatric Atlas of Ultrasound and Nerve Stimulation Guided Regional Anesthesia include insights from internationally renowned experts, comprehensive coverage of pediatric anatomy in relation to regional anesthesia, and a focus on equipment, set-up, pain assessment, local anesthetic pharmacology, and patient safety considerations for pediatric patients. These elements make this atlas an indispensable resource for anyone working in pediatric regional anesthesia. By combining two technologies proven to improve block success, the book provides both a foundational guide and a valuable resource for those aiming to enhance their technique and outcomes in pediatric anesthesia.
