Summary

Investigators will assess if perineural dexamethasone can increase the duration of an ulnar nerve block when controlling for systemic effects in healthy volunteers.

Conditions

  • Anesthesia, Local

Interventions

DRUG

Perineural dexamethasone

Dexamethasone 4mg will be added perineurally to an ulnar nerve block with bupivacaine.

DRUG

Lidocaine

Lidocaine 40 mg will be added perineurally to an ulnar nerve block with bupivacaine.

DRUG

Placebo

Saline will be added perineurally to an ulnar nerve block with bupivacaine.

DRUG

Systemic dexamethasone

Dexamethasone will be added perineurally to an ulnar nerve block with bupivacaine, some will be reabsorbed and distributed systemically. Thereby, the investigators control for the systemic effects of adding perineural dexamethasone to an ulnar nerve block.
