This comprehensive, highly didactic book on ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia (peripheral, neuraxial and perineuraxial nerve blocks) presents meticulously labelled images, diagrams and picture-in-picture samples and includes high-quality, vignetted illustrations that are consistent in style. The ultrasound images are outstanding and carefully selected to demonstrate the most clinically relevant situations. Importantly, they have a real-world appearance, including actual needle paths and desired disposition of injectate during nerve block procedures; most are from the original database of Dr. Eisenberg. All the supplementary material is authoritative and presented as an artful balance of years of clinical experience and a summary of the peer reviewed literature. Ultrasound in Peripheral, Neuraxial and Perineuraxial Regional Anaesthesia, accompanied by richly illustrated material and videos of state-of-the-art techniques, is of interest to anyone interested in learning, furthering their existing knowledge of, or teaching ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia. .
