Exploring the Additive or Synergistic Effects of the Systemic and Perineural Routes of Dexamethasone as Adjuncts to Supraclavicular Block: A Randomized Controlled Trial
The authors' findings suggest that intravenous dexamethasone alone is sufficient to improve analgesic outcomes for patients receiving supraclavicular block for upper extremity surgery. Combining the intravenous and perineural dexamethasone routes does not yield an additive or synergistic effect on the characteristics and analgesic effects of supraclavicular block.
