"This new edition has 40 new chapters. This edition includes chapters on the rapid expansion of ultrasound into the diagnosis and performance of procedures for chronic pain conditions. In addition, the diagnosis and treatment of many other medical conditions with ultrasound guidance has found its way into the practice of anesthesiologists"--Provided by publisher.
