Hadzic's Peripheral Nerve Blocks and Anatomy for Ultrasound-Guided Regional Anesthesia (New York School of Regional Anesthesia) 2nd Edition

This is printed on glossy paper throughout with glorious color illustrations. I am a first year Orthopedics and Trauma resident in Japan and I found this extremely helpful and easy to understand. All the recommendations are very practical and based on literature reviews and the ultrasound images are state of the art. The range of techniques described is impressive. All the rarely used and new blocks are here and described in detail so I feel I can start applying them with the book alone even though I don't have anyone to guide me through the procedures here.On Hokkaido we don't have enough anesthesiologists so when I go to work at a rural hospital next year I would probably have to make extensive use of this manual. Gonna add a review based on clinical experience then.

Hadzic's Peripheral Nerve Blocks and Anatomy for USGRA offers up to date information for beginners or novice in the field of Regional Anesthesia. Having just purchased the book, i am impressed at what this book has to offer. This is an impressive textbook written by worlds expert in the field. It offers fundamental knowledge on performance of nerve blocks with nerve stimulation as well as ultrasound guidance. What is unique about this textbook is the display of gross anatomical dissections along with ultrasound imaging. This is something that i have never seen in other textbooks. Furthermore, most chapters offer flowcharts that help to summarize important facts and details. This book is a must buy for residents in training and anesthesiologists in practice.

I have bought this excellent book for my son-in-law who is an anesthetist. His view of the book is that it contains very illustrative photos. The text is highly informative and clear. The book helped him so much in gaining both experience and reputation. He used the book in doing ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve blocks for both upper and lower extremities. Any anesthetist should have this book.

Very satisfied great book

Book is well written even fro the novice. Pictures are helpful. Utilization requires a review of anatomy, as well as the capacity to imagine things in your mind's eye.

There are some good pictures in this text. However, there is very little instruction regarding transitioning from performing blocks with a nerve stimulator to using ultrasound. For example, most landmarks are useless so once you pass the needle, if you don't get motor response, then what??

They shipped very fast. Great book! Such a good resource, I love the photos, the option to have both US guided and PNS guided directions.

Great source of information. A good resource for the expert the the student alike. Helpful with very anatomic illustrations and good text. Ultrasound information invaluable.
