Review Quotes

4 Stars! "...covers a variety of interventional pain techniques, providing images from multiple modalities including ultrasound, CT, and MRI. This sixth edition includes even more images than the fifth edition published in 2020. Each chapter covers one intervention, highlighting relevant anatomy and potential complications. The book's purpose is to provide a comprehensive guide to interventional pain management. Its plethora of high-quality images meets this objective exceptionally well.... The chapters, however, are short and concise making for quick and easy review.... [It] offers high quality images and thorough explanations of both common and uncommon interventional pain management procedures. For both learners and advanced practitioners of anesthesiology, this book will be a treasured reference. Gone are the grainy ultrasound images of olde; this edition reflects the clarity of modern ultrasound machines and other imaging modalities. I recommend this book to anyone performing or observing any regional anesthetic blocks as the images are clear, often color-coded, and easy to use."
