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.
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.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.
Absolutely perfect and the price was incredible compared to what I was seeing on other websites. Hard to believe I got such a great deal. The book came brand new and wrapped in plastic wrap still. Impressed by davinciread.
Thank you for this wonderful book. I highly recommend this book for anyone who performs regional anesthesia. Thank you for the great service and the great book. I will definitely purchase from this site again.
excellent book. the best regional book by far. would be better if available as a kindle book. this book weighs lie 10 pounds and has 2000 pages. not very useful to walk around the hospital with
As a regional anesthesia lover, I must say that this book and all the proffesional that wrote there, are simply excelent!
Nice, glossy pages and great reference for Nurse Anesthesia school!
