Pain Medicine

This new volume in the "Requisites in Anesthesia" series thoroughly but concisely covers the many diverse aspects of pain medicine. It explains all of the basic principles, clinical concepts, and management options involved in providing anesthesia for patients suffering from a range of pain inducing syndromes, including psychological testing. And, it discusses recent advances and changing trends in anesthetic care. A user-friendly format, with many at-a-glance tables and boxes, it makes clinical information easy to access.

"Each page is packed in this learning guide to pain medicine. The larger format allows for easy-to-read text and tables and larger illustrations. Abram (anesthesiology, Medical College of Wisconsin) and his contributors keep their comments relevant and simple, covering pain pathways and mechanisms, psychological assessment of chronic and cancer pain, treament of chronic pain, physical therapy and drugs in chronic pain management, local anesthetics, and postoperative, pediatric, back, neck, facial, neuropathic, central and cancer pain."" SciTech Book News, June 2006, Vol. 30, No. 2" 'Elements of this text exceed expectation... The text acheives its goal. It belongs in an anaesthesiology residency library. It should be competitive with other speciality books woth the budget of candidates for the ABA residency examination. It should be a solid starting point for an anaesthesiologist in practice who has new pain medicine responsibilities. It could be an excellent choice as a preferred reference for the increasing number of medical schools with required or elective pain medicine experiences.'
