Description
📖 Atlas of Ultrasound-Guided Regional Anesthesia
Author: Andrew (Andrew Gray et al.)
Publisher: Elsevier (latest edition)
🔍 Overview
This atlas is focused on ultrasound-guided nerve blocks and regional anesthesia techniques. It provides detailed sonoanatomy, needle approaches, and block techniques in a visual, atlas-style format. It’s used by anesthesiologists, regional anesthesia trainees, and clinicians interested in ultrasound-guided regional techniques.
✨ Key Features
-
High-Resolution Sonographic Images + Illustrations:
Clear ultrasound images side-by-side with anatomical diagrams to aid understanding of sonoanatomy and needle pathway. -
Block Techniques Across Regions:
Covers major nerve blocks including upper limb, lower limb, truncal blocks (e.g., paravertebral, TAP) and more. -
Needle Trajectory & Scan Approaches:
Demonstrates transducer orientation, in-plane and out-of-plane needle insertion, and safety zones/landmarks. -
Practical Tips & Troubleshooting:
Includes pointers on optimizing image quality, common pitfalls, artifact recognition, and adjustment techniques.
✅ Key Benefits
-
Enhances ultrasound interpretation skills by correlating images with anatomy.
-
Helps clinicians perform precise, safer regional blocks using visual guidance.
-
Useful for teaching and training residents in regional anesthesia.
-
Serves as a visual reference in the OR when planning or confirming block placement.
🎯 Ideal For
-
Anesthesiologists practicing regional anesthesia
-
Fellows / trainees in regional / pain anesthesia
-
CRNAs or nurse anesthetists using ultrasound blocks
-
Clinicians expanding their ultrasound skills for regional techniques
