This book provides a broad clinical guide to regional anaesthesia for readers undertaking oral examinations such as the EDRA (part 2) or those seeking a general overview of this growing area of practice. The book begins with anatomy basics and an emphasis on surface landmarks along with coverage of various nerve blocks, ultrasound guided landmarks and identification of the pertinent structures.Regional Anaesthesia – A Practical Guide to Clinical Exams includes clinical cases for regional or general anaesthesia with the benefits and complications discussed for either modality of anaesthesia. The cases provide an overview of many aspects of peripheral and central nerve blocks with a diverse population of clinical groups including the elderly, paediatric and obstetric patients. The book concludes with discussion around identification of complications, initial management and long-term management for both peripheral nerve blocks and central neuraxial blocks.

However, there is a lack of formal clinical training in regional anaesthesia in most of the anaesthesia postgraduate curricula and this book intends to bridge this gap.

This book explores the concept of prehabilitation to great depths using all possible modes of prehabilitation across surgical specialities.

This book explores the concept of prehabilitation to great depths using all possible modes of prehabilitation across surgical specialities. Prehabilitation is a unique concept that is becoming popular day-by-day. It began from the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program and has found importance in almost all of the surgeries now. The book possibly being the first on prehabilitation globally introduces the concept, describes the methods of functional assessment of the patients scheduled for extensive cancer surgery, and ways of pre-optimisation. It covers the methods of prehabilitation system-wise and then provides pehabilitation tools specific for individual onco-surgical subspecialties. The book will be an invaluable resource for practitioners of onco-anesthesia and onco-surgery in optimizing their patients before surgery for best results. It will also be useful for the allied disciplines such as nutritionists, physiotherapists, psychiatrists and oncology nurses.

It contains chapters on ultrasound of the airways, thoracic ultrasound including lungs and transthoracic screening echocardiogram, vascular assessment, ultrasound of the abdomen for focussed trauma assessment, gastric volume assessment and ultrasound guided interventions such as vascular cannulations, pleurocentesis, etc.
