Image adjustment

"Atlas of Regional Anesthesia" If you superimpose the two images of the arm at page 29, figure 3-2 and 3-3, you will see the interception of the median antebrachial cutaneos n with the C5 dermatome. It counteracts the brachial plexus anatomy. C5 don't supply the "median antebrachial cutaneos n". Araujo, Ricardo MD Anesthesia , Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

NO Photographs

I was disappointed to find no photographs used in this atlas. The diagrams are all drawings. It is not a how-to-do book but a reference book.

beautifully illustrated guide

This book although pricey covers just about every block one could imagine and does it in a way that shows off all the strengths of the atlas-as-textbook. After a general chapter on equipment each section is started with a review of the pertinent anatomy of the region followed by descriptions of the various blocks for that region. Each technique is prefaced with a brief discussion of the 'big picture' of the block, then the local anatomy, positioning of the patient, and placement of the needle is covered. There is a nice little concluding paragraph covering gothchas. Whilst this text is aimed at the trainee/practising anesthetist, others may find it useful. For example fellows in pain management will find all the 'standards' are covered. It's only weakness arises in this context: use of supplemental imaging is not discussed except in facet blocks.

lovely text

I am a CRNAP practicing in an ansethesia group that does a great deal of regional anesthesia. We have developed a library of texts to be used for reference/review. This text is the best of the lot with clear concise illustration and excellent text. If you wish to have just one book to use as a reference, this one is it.

Very helpful atlas
