Brown: Atlas of Regional Anesthesia 4th Edition (Expert Consult Series)






Creating another edition of our Atlas of Regional Anesthesia demanded that we include the advances that are driving much of the change in regional anesthesia and pain practices, and we have wisely chosen experts in our specialty to contribute to this edition. The first two editions of the Atlas were based on my experience in my practice; thankfully, as my academic practice grew, others came alongside me to add their knowledge and practical experience. The goal with this fourth edition remains the same as with the first edition—to teach physicians needing to learn regional anesthesia and pain medicine technical procedures these techniques as they are practiced by physicians who use them daily, incorporating the pearls learned from this daily practice. 

I remain indebted to my three outstanding physician contributors to the third edition, Drs. AndrĂ© Boezaart, James Rathmell, and Richard Rosenquist. Each has updated his contributions to this work. Additionally, two physicians helping to lead the revolution in ultrasound imaging in regional anesthesia have joined us, Drs. Brian Sites and Brian Spence. Their insights into the use of ultrasound will keep each of us focused on where our subspecialty is going. Finally, Dr. Ursula Galway has added her expertise in transversus abdominis plane block. Our artist for this edition remains Ms. Joanna Wild King; again she used her vision for simplification of images and concepts to improve on our technical messages. 

I want to thank so many colleagues and patients across the country who share a belief that society as a whole benefits from physicians’ becoming more adept at regional anesthesia and pain medicine techniques, as we are able to treat both acute and chronic pain more effectively.
