Designed for quick reference on the wards or in the operating room,
this pocket-sized flip-book depicts the anatomic landmarks whose
location is essential for successfully performing peripheral nerve
blocks. Full-color computer-generated drawings show surface anatomy
and relevant deeper anatomic structures. Each chapter first presents
basic anatomy including landmarks and then proceeds to brief
descriptions of the most widely used blocks, as well as tips to
troubleshoot problems and avoid complications. Both upper and lower
limb blocks are included. The book is spiral bound at the top and
printed on heavy, laminated paper to allow use in the operating room.
