Focused  on rotations in regional anesthesia and chronic pain, this book  provides a structured review of the concepts covered in the American  Board of Anesthesiology in-training exam.  The first section of the book  covers regional anesthesia with dedicated chapters on basic science,  acute postoperative pain, and nerve blocks for neuraxial, lower and  upper extremity blocks, and head and neck. The second section on chronic  pain includes chapters on basic science and common pain conditions -  including craniofacial pain, CRPS, neuropathic pain, and cancer pain.  This section closes on multimodal analgesia and other treatment  approaches. Each chapter presents a common clinical topic and is  organized by indications, preparation, technique, complication,  prevention, clinical pearls, and related ABA key points. Highlights  must-know information in bold throughout the text.  Concise, practical,  and easy-to-read, this book will aid anesthesiology residents,  certifiednurse anesthetists, and medical students in their study  regarding patient care practices on regional anesthesia and chronic  pain.
