by FFARCSI O'Connor MB, Stephen E. Abram MD

Overview

Here's a highly illustrated practical guide with easy to follow descriptions of pain injection techniques. It will give special advice on how to achieve a successful block and how to avoid and manage potential problems. The techniques will be described in a systematic and easy to use way. Each description of the injection will be accompanied by figures demonstrating the surface anatomy, patient position, needle puncture site and movement of the needle in relation to anatomyh. Where necessary further figures will be used to show dye injections and successful blocks. - Uses concise bulleted text with important factors highlighted throughout for ease of understanding and assimilation. - Shows how to perform each injection technique step-by-step with comprehensive illustrations (photographs, line drawings, radiologic images) - Techniques are grouped together in a logical and easy to follow manner with the same format being used for each block - Offers solutions to actual clinical problems and highlights potential pitfalls in both diagnosis and treatment.. - Covers a broad scope of clinical practice for use by both beginners and experts. - Offer proven, reliable treatment options to patients with persistent, severe or chronic pain.

Editorial Reviews

"This book should find a place in every Pain Clinic as a useful guide to the common procedures carried out there. It brings together all the techniques in one handy volume..useful to trainees wishing to learn about them and also to experienced practitioners who may wish to remind themselves about a technique that they perform only infrequently." (British Journal of Anaesthesia)

"The consistent, easy-to-follow, repetitive nature of each technique is accompanied by excellent photographs and illustrations that serve to highlight the anatomical structures and relationships that must be fully understood in order to achieve success." (Doody's Journals)

"This is a highly practical step-by-step guide to procedures for chronic pain. It is suitable for the practicing pain physician, teh anesthesiologist with an interest in chronic pain and to residents in training....a very helpful book to have in any pain clinic library." (Amazon customer review)
