Efficacy and Safety of Adjunct Medications in <scp>ED</scp> Ultrasound‐Guided Nerve Blocks: A National Ultrasound‐Guided <scp>NeRVE</scp> ( <scp>NURVE</scp> ) Block Registry Study
Compared to isolated local anesthetic nerve blocks, dexamethasone had an association with improved pain control within 60 min; without additional safety concerns in a large retrospective dataset. Prospective studies are needed to further investigate these findings in the ED setting.
