Perineural Low-Dose Dexamethasone Prolongs Interscalene Block Analgesia With Bupivacaine Compared With Systemic Dexamethasone: A Randomized Trial
Conclusions In patients undergoing shoulder arthroscopy, low-dose perineural dexamethasone (1 mg) in combination with 15 mL of 0.5% bupivacaine prolonged the median time until pain relief from the ISB completely wore off compared with 1 mg IV dexamethasone. However, the degree of prolongation was smaller than the a priori–defined minimal clinically meaningful difference of 5 hours. Clinical Trial Registration This study was registered at Clinicaltrials.gov, identifier NCT02506660. (Source: Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine)
