Book Synopsis
Questions and answers for thorough understanding of the latest advances in regional anesthesia and pain management


Regional anesthesia and acute pain management protocols are rapidly changing. The introduction of ultrasound in international pain management and regional anesthesia has resulted in significant changes in the practice, management, protocols, techniques applications, and their effects on patient safety and efficacy. This evolution of the practice and expansion of new knowledge demands a reliable, up-to-date resource designed to assess understanding of this ever-changing subspecialty. Hadzicâs Textbook of Regional Anesthesia and Acute Pain Management Self-Assessment and Review is designed to do just that.


Filling a gap in the medical literature


This innovative review is the first question-and-answer book that focuses on the subspecialty of regional anesthesia and acute pain management and point-of-care ultras
