In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Recent studies have highlighted the comparative advantages of perineural dexamethasone, particularly regarding its safety profile and its ability to prolong analgesia in various peripheral nerve blocks. A recent systematic review demonstrated that perineural administration of dexamethasone significantly extends the duration of analgesia compared to intravenous administration. The mechanism of action of perineural dexamethasone remains unclear. Moreover, there is a lack of research comparing the systemic absorption of local anesthetics administered perineurally with or without dexamethasone, and the systemic absorption and bioavailability of dexamethasone when used as a perineural adjuvant have not been studied. Objective: This study aims to compare plasma concentrations of bupivacaine following a single-shot interscalene block with dexamethasone administered either perineurally or intr
