Description du livre
The updated and expanded 2nd Edition of Regional Anesthesia: Managing Complications offers practical advice on the prevention and management of complications associated with regional anesthesia and nerve blocks. Besides comprehensive coverage of all potential pitfalls the practicing anesthesiologist may encounter, the book adds new material exploring outcomes of regional and general anesthesia. The book offers chapters on specific anatomic sites, including spinal, epidural, ophthalmic, and brachial plexus anesthesia. Other chapters address specialties of practice: obstetrics, pediatrics, and cancer. The book includes clinical studies and closed case analyses, and practical advice on prevention of complications. A concluding section offers detailed, real-world oriented practice guidelines for Regional Anesthesia. The author offers a highly useful combination of academic and clinical considerations, honed in his experience as both a Professor of anesthesiology and pain management at the University of Alberta, and the Director of anesthesia services at Cross Cancer Institute, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
