Study Summary
When used in conjunction with a local anesthetic, dexamethasone may prolong both the sensory and motor effects of high supraclavicular brachial plexus nerve block (SBP) in arthroscopic shoulder surgery. This study seeks to determine if there is a relationship between the duration of sensory and motor blockade in supraclavicular brachial plexus nerve blocks (SBP) when combined with increasing doses of dexamethasone.
Primary Outcome
This is defined as time from the completion of the block to the initiation of supplemental analgesia medications after hospital discharge. The patients were evaluated on different days to capture the exact end time, which was the initiation of supplemental analgesia medication. We intentionally contacted patients several times to capture the time as early as possible to minimize recall bias.
