Regional Anesthesia for Babies and Children

by Jane M. Peutrell, Stephen J. Mather

This book is a practical, concise guide to regional anaesthesia in babies and children, written with small children in mind, especially the newborn infant. The authors have set out to present up to date techniques, described clearly and concisely, with simple diagrams, so that is an invaluable companion to 'hands on' experience in the operating theatre.

There are full descriptions of the techniques complete with relevant anatomy, drugs, equipment, indications, and contraindications. Clear, step-by-step instructions are illustrated with dozens of labelled photographs and clear diagrams.
