Main description:

A full-color companion to the information found in Mayo Clinic Analgesic Pathway, this DVD source serves as a visual tutorial on approaches to perioperative regional anesthesia and analgesia in patients undergoing major lower extremity orthopedic surgery-offering structured video primers and vivid presentations of regional techniques to clearly guide users through the selection of equipment, strategies in pain management, and the management of inpatient and ambulatory peripheral nerve catheters. The authors' systematic approach to regional anesthesia and analgesia in patients undergoing total joint replacement has been recognized for its scientific and educational value by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and the American Society of Anesthesiologists.

This unique and user-friendly source presents original black-and-white images taken from the classic text Regional Anesthesia: Its Technic and Application, by Gaston Labat, a book based on Labat's work at Mayo Clinic, and continues the Mayo Clinic tradition of excellence in the practice of regional anesthesia.
