Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal timing of IV dexamethasone for prolongation of ultrasound (US) guided supraclavicular brachial plexus block (SCB) in patients undergoing unilateral hand or forearm surgery at the Toronto Western Hospital. Investigators seek to answer which timing of IV dexamethasone will provide the maximum block prolongation. Investigators hypothesize that IV dexamethasone administered either before or after the block will further extend the duration of analgesia provided.
