Summary:

Pain management is an increasingly important subspecialty of anesthesia that has traditionally been a much-neglected area. Atlas of Pain Injection Techniques seeks to change this situation. This brand new book covers the main key injection techniques in the management of chronic non-cancer and cancer pain. This atlas provides a highly illustrated practical guide of easy-to-follow pain injection techniques. It gives special advice on how to achieve a successful block and how to avoid and manage potential problems. The techniques are described in a systematic and easy to use way. Each description of the injection is accompanied by figures demonstrating the surface anatomy, patient position, needle puncture site and movement of the needle in relation to anatomy. In addition, further figures are used to show dye injections and successful blocks. Atlas of Pain Injection Techniques will appeal to all anesthesiologists and anesthesia residents, pain clinics, pain medicine physicians, nurse anesthesiologists as well as primary care physicians, oncologists and health science libraries.
