简要总结
Adding dexamethasone to local anesthetic will significantly prolong duration of brachial plexus anesthesia and analgesia.
详细描述
Operations of upper extremities are often performed in regional anesthesia blocks. Single-injection blocks are effective, but time limited. Adding 4mg of dexamethasone to 0.5% levobupivacaine will significantly prolong duration of brachial plexus anesthesia and analgesia for fracture operations of upper extremity. This effect will result in less opioid use postoperatively.
