DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Irwin & Rippe’s Manual of Intensive Care Medicine has established
itself as an invaluable reference for students, interns, residents, fellows,
nurse practitioners and physician assistants, nurses, and respiratory care
practitioners working in the critical care medicine environment. Known
for its reader-friendly outline format and compact portable size, this
handy manual builds upon its tradition of excellence in its Sixth Edition.
Available both in print and electronic formats, the Sixth Edition parallels
the text, Irwin & Rippe’s Intensive Care Medicine, Seventh Edition, and
features fully updated and revised content with a focus on patient safety.
This atlas-style text will describe all of the nerve blocks for which
ultrasound guidance has proved efficacious, including upper and lower
limb blocks. The chapter organization will be similar to Chelly's
Peripheral Nerve Blocks book: each block will be described by concise
text covering the indications for use, necessary equipment, anatomic
landmarks and approach and technique. It will also be richly illustrated
by ultrasound stills and relevant anatomy.
