Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The difference between a successful nerve block and a missed opportunity often comes down to one thing: seeing the anatomy clearly and knowing exactly what to do next.

Whether you're performing a routine peripheral nerve block, managing a high-risk patient, navigating challenging anatomy, or troubleshooting an incomplete block, precision matters. In today's ultrasound-driven era of regional anesthesia, clinicians must combine anatomical expertise, technical skill, sound clinical judgment, and a relentless focus on patient safety.Atlas of Ultrasound-Guided Nerve Blocks and Regional Anesthesia is the definitive visual and practical guide for anesthesiologists, nurse anesthetists, pain specialists, emergency physicians, residents, fellows, and perioperative clinicians seeking to elevate their understanding of ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia.

Written by Dr. James R. Whitmore, MD, FRCA, this comprehensive atlas moves beyond isolated techniques to provide a complete framework for mastering regional anesthesia from the fundamentals of ultrasound physics and sonoanatomy to advanced block selection, catheter management, complication prevention, and program development.

Inside this clinically focused reference, you'll learn how to:

- Interpret ultrasound images with greater confidence and accuracy- Identify nerves, vessels, fascial planes, and critical anatomical landmarks in real time- Optimize image quality, needle visualization, and procedural ergonomics- Perform upper-extremity, lower-extremity, thoracic, abdominal wall, pelvic, and neuraxial blocks using structured step-by-step approaches- Select the most appropriate block based on surgical requirements, patient factors, and clinical objectives- Recognize, prevent, and manage complications, including local anesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST)- Apply regional anesthesia principles in pediatric, obstetric, trauma, elderly, and medically complex patient populations- Integrate continuous nerve block catheters, multimodal analgesia strategies, and evidence-informed clinical protocols into daily practice

Covering everything from cervical plexus blocks and brachial plexus approaches to TAP, QL, PENG, IPACK, sciatic, femoral, spinal, epidural, and emerging ultrasound-guided techniques, this atlas provides the practical insights clinicians need at the bedside, in the block room, and in the operating theater.>Master every block. Navigate every patient. Prevent every complication.

If you are ready to strengthen your ultrasound skills, refine your procedural decision-making, and build a deeper understanding of modern regional anesthesia practice, this atlas belongs in your professional library.
