Published Books

Peripheral Nerve Blocks and Ultrasound Guidance for Anesthesia Providers
This iBook for iPad is available through iTunes via the iPad browser. It comprehensively covers the topics of relevant peripheral nerve blocks with and without the use of ultrasound guidance and POCUS. It is the first iBook of it’s kind to allow interactivity such as one-touch videos with narration, one-touch searchable sources, multiple image galleries with explanations of each images and more. It allows any anesthesia provider instant access to all aspects of ultrasound guidance and nerve blocks.
