Dr Steve Roberts has been a Consultant Paediatric Anaesthetist in the Jackson Rees Department of Anaesthesia at Alder Hey Children's NHS Foundation Trust Hospital for over 15 years. He is Clinical Lead for Day Surgery and Radiology. As a registrar Dr Roberts became interested in the use of ultrasound to image children's spines and soon realised that it had begun to be used in adults in Europe to identify peripheral nerves. As a consequence he was an early adopter of these techniques; starting one of the first UK ultrasound guided regional anaesthesia courses; and contributing to chapters to many of the first books on this subject.

Reviews for Paediatric Anaesthesia

This concise, go-to guide for anesthesia providers caring for neonates, infants, and children facilitates the creation of perioperative care plans for these patients. It is also useful as a quick reference guide at the bedside. * Doodys book reviews * ...this overview of pediatric anesthesia offers abundant information that can be accessed as needed because of the book's suitably succinct nature and excellent layout. It would be a good investment for any anesthesiologist with an interest in pediatric anesthesia, especially those in training or with upcoming examinations. * Simon Denning, Canadian Journal of Anesthesia * ...this book's main appeal is as a pocket size quick reference guide, providing an excellent summary of current practice, that can be carried everywhere by any anesthetist involved in the care of children. The book covers a vast curriculum in a shell and makes essential reading for trainees, general anesthetists managing children in nonspecialist hospitals, and anyone aspiring to become a pediatric anesthetist. * Mahmood Rafiq, MD, FRCA, EDAIC Martin Cole, MBBCh, BSc, FRCA, Department of Anaesthesia and Critical Care Royal Glamorgan Hospital NHS Wales, Anesthesia & Analgesia *
