It is hoped that this book can help doctors improve their regional anesthesia skills. This is a practical clinical guide to regional anesthesia, serving as an application and reference guide for routine regional anesthesia techniques in the operating room. The information provided is sufficient to demonstrate the principles, objectives, and correctness of this technique. It also provides pharmacological and physiological data to guide the selection of drugs and dosages, and to avoid common complications. When discussing the application of regional anesthesia in specialized fields such as pediatrics, obstetrics, and pain management, this book introduces common methods for administering anesthesia to various regions of the body. In this practical manual, encyclopedic depth is not the goal. This book can be used as a practical guide for anesthesia procedures. However, successful regional anesthesia is not just about referring to diagrams during the procedure. Readers, especially beginners, should carefully read anatomy books and diagrams when treating patients. For successful regional anesthesia, three-dimensional visualization of anatomy is essential, and reviewing anatomical landmarks on bones or live models is highly beneficial.
