Long before any written accounts of what has come to be described as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), this book entails a record that began in the department of Anesthesiology headed by Dr. John Bonica who during the Pacific arena of World War II came to manage thousands of wounded servicemen many of whom suffered from this complicated clinical entity often long after their original wounds had healed. Divided into two sections, the first provides a detailed chronology of the research and establishment of diagnostic criteria for CRPS. The second section provides an overview of how CRPS is evaluated and treated, along with the research that serves as its foundations.

This outstanding manual is conceived for both the novice and the experienced practitioner of regional anesthesia. Each illustration consists of layers of colored transparencies grouped together in order to provide a brilliant display of the regional anatomy of different blocks in natural perspective. This unique format allows the reader to become familiar with the deeper anatomy of related structures by examining the individual transparencies or even removing them for overhead projection. It thereby becomes possible for relate exactly needle position to important anatomical structures. The text is brief, limited to concise descriptions of general principles for the management of the patient undergoing regional anesthesia. All the common blocks have been described and potential side effects and hazards are indicated. The visual impact and didactic clarity of this work make it an indispensable teaching aid and refresher for the accurate and safe execution of regional anesthetic procedures.
This comprehensive, authoritative text presents the scientific foundations and clinical practice of neural blockade in both regional anesthesia and the management of pain. The descriptions and illustrations of pain mechanisms are considered classic examples. The Fourth Edition has been refined for clarity and flows logically from principles and pharmacology, to techniques for each anatomic region, to applications. This edition has two new co-editors and several new chapters on topics including neurologic complications, neural blockade for surgery, treatment of pain in older people, and complications in pain medicine. A companion Website will offer the fully searchable text and an image bank.
