4 STAR DOODY'S REVIEW!
"This is an enormous book. It weighs in at just under eight and a half pounds with a list price that makes it comparable to an equal quantity of sushi grade tuna! It is a beautiful and powerful text/reference book. The composition corresponds particularly well with the subject. The wealth of detail, the high quality photos and drawings, the well composed text, and the engaging layout are enticing. Handling and reading such an exceptional book brings great pleasure. Forget the fish. Buy the book."--Doody's Review Service
Here at last is a reference that covers the practice of Regional Anesthesia in its entirety, providing practitioners and students with both the physiologic principles and specific, state-of-the-art patient-management protocols and techniques.
Recognized leaders in the specialty have filled this richly illustrated volume with authoritative, completely practical help. You'll find algorithms for managing or avoiding a wide range of common clinical dilemmas or complications. You'll get time-saving tools such as intravenous-to-oral opioid conversion tables and PCA setup guides as well as no-nonsense selection of nerve block techniques and advice on their strengths and pitfalls. This handy reference helps you make wise choices about anesthetics, dosing intervals, equipment, and perioperative management of patients receiving single-injection or continuous nerve blocks or spinal or epidural anesthesia. It tells you how to successfully manage patients with suspected epidural hematoma or neurologic injuries -- and much more.

After patiently waiting for it's release I was thrilled to get my copy of "Regional Anesthesia and Acute Pain Management" edited by Admir Hadzic. Finally there is a true textbook of regional anesthesia not simply a step-by-step instruction manuel for performing a block. That information is of course included (in the terrific fashion we have come to expect from NYSORA) but it is completmented by the relevent pharmacology, physiology and functional anatomy that will help you become a successful practitioner of regional anesthesia.By Scott
I'm shocked this has not gone to a second edition. This has the potential to be the best regional text out there. Great photos, diagrams, figures. BUT ... there are many many errors. Two figures on one page with the labels or descriptions for figure 1 applied to figure 2 and those for figure 2 applied to figure 1. Text talking about two options with key facts reversed (e.g. down is changed to up, left changed to right). If you are already knowledgeable in regional anesthesia this will be annoying, but not a fatal flaw; the errors will be obvious to you. If you are teaching novices, be prepared to point out and correct the mistakes to them so they don't learn it wrong and be prepared to answer lots of questions about things they find that are wrong thus don't make sense to them.By M. Fiedler
EXAMPLE from text, page 212, paragraph below "clinical pearls" says, in part, "Larger gauge needles ... also decrease the incidence of PDPH, ..." Of course, larger gauge spinal needles are associated with an INCREASE in the incidence of PDPH, not a decrease as stated. Amazing this could get by a professional proof read. There are many more errors such as this one.
As much as I love so many aspects of this text, I don't plan on using it to teach a regional course again until a corrected edition is published. I would so love for that to happen soon.
