About the Book
Thoroughly updated and greatly expanded for its Second Edition, this best-selling full-color atlas is a step-by-step guide to performing peripheral nerve blocks. For each nerve block, the book provides detailed information about indications, patient positioning, needle selection, drug selection and volume, anatomic landmarks, approach, and technique and offers tips for maximizing effectiveness and minimizing complications. Full-color clinical photographs and line art demonstrate anatomic landmarks, patient positioning, and techniques. This edition features expanded coverage of the pharmacology of local anesthetics, a new section on pain blocks, and increased emphasis on continuous infusion blocks and pediatric peripheral nerve blocks. New chapters on upper and lower extremity innervation and facial blocks are also included.

Review :
AANA Journal (An official publication of the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists), Volume 72, Issue 3 -- "Chelly's text is concise, thorough, and provides an abundance of clinical tips and appropriate indications for peripheral nerve blockade. The atlas is well organized and the basic fundamentals of peripheral nerve blocks are well described. Chelly includes an extensive section on continuous block techniques that may find increasing popularity in practice. The section devoted to pediatrics is quite useful. This is an excellent text that is comprehensive and well organized and a useful regional reference for any practitioner."
