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.
