Description
This is a practical introduction to the basic techniques of regional anaesthesia, covering its applications both in surgical and post-operative analgesia. Over 175 high-quality line drawings and diagrams are used to illustrate 46 of the most commonly used techniques in operative sites throughout the body. The presentation style and concise text reflect the authors firm belief that regional anaesthesia is a practical skill in which as much can be learnt from clear diagrams as words.
