Synopsis

This volume contains both the applied anatomy and detailed technique necessary to perform the cervical paravertebral block. For the authors, the continuous (and single-injection) cervical paravertebral block has totally replaced the continuous interscalene block. After performing several thousand interscalene blocks, inferior results and a relatively high rate of complications prompted the change. The cervical paravertebral block is a selective, mostly sensory block that the authors have been providing for shoulder, and to a lesser extent, elbow and wrist, surgery for the past quarter century dating back to its first description by Boezaart in 1992. With over 20,000 performances, the authors are confident that, if the macro-, micro- and sonoanatomy is thoroughly understood, this block offers an exceedingly high yield for pain relief.

About this title

About the Author

Andre Boezaart Biography André Boezaart has compiled this essential resource for anyone who needs a more comprehensive understanding of the complexities of the nervous system anatomy as it applies to regional anesthesia and acute pain medicine. With over four decades of personal experience researching, practicing, and teaching in these specific areas, Professor Boezaart is highly qualified to bring this essential resource to the student. Donald Bohannon Biography Donald S. Bohannon, MD was born in Newnan Georgia, received his BA at Emory University, his MD at Hahnemann Medical College and interned at Medical College of Georgia. After serving as a US Army Medical Officer, he completed Anesthesiology Residency at the University of Florida College of Medicine. He was in private practice in Savannah Georgia for 30 years before joining the faculty at UF, where he has been an Associate Professor in the Department of Anesthesiology’s division of Acute and Perioperative Pain Medicine since 2009. He has performed and taught thousands of nerve blocks, specializing in cervical paravertebral blocks. The root-level, mostly sensory quality of the CPVB he found particularly applicable in successful ambulatory upper extremity intraoperative and post-operative care, and it now forms a central part of his repertoire. He is uniquely qualified to teach colleagues to perform this high-yield block.
