Aimed at anaesthesiologists, nurse anaesthetists, chief nurses in pain clinics, and physicians and nurses working in a critical care setting, this book provides an algorithmic approach to the evaluation, testing and treatment of pain for all physicians engaged in the management of pain. Divided into sections, it discusses the evaluation of pain, acute and chronic pain syndromes, pain occurring in specific regions, therapeutic modalities, and specific nerve blocks used in the diagnosis and treatment of pain. In areas of controversy, chapters may reflect the preferences of the individual contributors.
