Anestesia locoregionale

This updated and expanded 2nd Edition offers practical advice on the prevention and management of complications associated with regional anesthesia and nerve blocks. Besides comprehensive coverage of potential pitfalls for the practicing anesthesiologist, the book adds new material exploring outcomes of regional and general anesthesia. The book offers full 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.

Lo scopo di questo volume è quello di fornire all'odontoiatra una guida pratica e completa per affrontare l'anestesia in modo efficace e sicuro, scegliendo la soluzione migliore per ogni singolo caso ed evitando le complicanze che possono insorgere in caso di errori nella scelta o nel dosaggio del farmaco e nell'esecuzione delle tecniche. Il testo tratta tutti gli aspetti dell'anestesia locale in ambito odontoiatrico: dai fondamenti di farmacologia alle specifiche tecniche iniettive, dal dosaggio dei farmaci all'uso corretto dello strumentario. Il DVD in inglese, allegato al volume, è un importante strumento di apprendimento: impostato secondo la struttura del manuale, raccoglie filmati di dimostrazioni cliniche dal vivo e animazioni che facilitano la comprensione dei meccanismi di azione dei farmaci e delle diverse tecniche di somministrazione.

Esce la nuova edizione di questo testo-atlante, che rappresenta un elemento didattico importante per tutti gli anestesisti. Le tecniche, gli accorgimenti e i farmaci consigliati sono il risultato di anni di studio e di pratica volti alla ricerca di un progressivo perfezionamento. Sono proprio le moderne tecniche di anestesia e analgesia regionale, diverse dallo standard usuale, a permettere un'anestesia soddisfacente in categorie di pazienti ad alto rischio e in settori chirurgici particolarmente difficoltosi. L'impostazione schematica, supportata da una ricchissima iconografia, fa di questo testo uno strumento di lavoro di grande efficacia per ogni anestesista che voglia perfezionare e/o apprendere le diverse tecniche di blocco.

"Musculoskeletal Physical Examination and Joint Injections" provides a comprehensive, up-to-date, hands-on, concisely written, richly illustrated resource outlining applied anatomy, physical examination, interpretation of physical signs, common regional MSK disorders and injection techniques of the joint and spine. The result is a detailed yet practical step-by-step guide to clinical skills and best practice.

Regional anaesthesia, particularly central neural block for obstetrics, has increased greatly in use and popularity over the last 30 years. However, a significant number of anaesthetists still find it difficult to acquire either a theoretical grounding in the subject or expertise in the techniques. This book is produced to help them to rectify this situation. It is aimed at anaesthetists in training and those studying for the FRCA examination, as well as senior anaesthetists whose training was completed before the revival of interest in regional anaesthesia. Those already using regional techniques will find the book useful for extending and updating their knowledge. As in the first two editions, the first part of the book gives an account (firmly based in recent research) of the theoretical aspects of regional anaesthesia. The second part describes the practical applications of the various methods. The third edition continues to give a clear view on often misunderstood subjects such as the pharmacokinetics and systemic toxicity of local anaesthetic drugs, and the use of test doses as well as an assessment of the present place of spinal anaesthesia and an account of the features of some of the newer spinal agents. The contributing authors use the techniques which they describe in their daily practice and, because they come from a variety of backgrounds, the book is broadly representative of British practice. However, the editors have ensured that the guidance given and the opinions expressed are clear and unequivocal.

Regional nerve blocks are important procedures in pain therapy that can be employed rapidly and safely by a skilled practitioner. This textbook and atlas provides clear, practice-oriented anatomical explanations and unambiguous implementation rules for regional nerve blocks. The author gives a graphic practice-oriented demonstration of how optimum results can be obtained from a regional nerve block while ensuring the safety of the patient. A concise and vivid structure, numerous colour illustrations, tabular outlines and an index make this "practice guide" easy to use.

A comprehensive full-color anatomical atlas designed specifically for the anesthesiologist and pain physician A clear understanding of relevant anatomy is essential for physicians who wish to master ultrasound-guided nerve blocks. Although ultrasound images may help visualize the nerve to be blocked, the images still present a grainy and incomplete picture. Physicians looking to master US-guided nerve blocks are best served by becoming anatomical experts -- and this innovative resource is an invaluable learning tool to doing just that. In addition to 2D and 3D ultrasound images, Atlas of Sonoanatomy for Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine includes high-resolution CTs, MRIs, cadaver anatomy images, and anatomical illustrations to give physicians a comprehensive understanding of the anatomy of the neck, upper and lower extremity, trunk, thorax, thoracic spine, sacral spine, lumbar paravertebral region, and thoracic paravertebral region that are relevant to ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia. Features * Bulleted pearls impart how to obtain optimal ultrasound images at each site * More than 600 full-color photographs and illustrations throughout * Essential for anesthesiologists and pain physicians, and is also of value to musculoskeletal sonographers, radiologists, and emergency medicine physicians *Enables you to learn and see, through full-color illustrations, the relevant anatomy for administering successful nerve blocks * Includes CT and MRI correlations to ultrasound images, plus corresponding anatomical illustrations, cadaver anatomy, and photos of probe placement on the patient. Although other texts may provide some of the imaging information contained in this unique atlas, this is the first resource to systematically and comprehensively gather all the imaging modalities for side-by-side comparison under one cover.
