A Comparison of Ropivacaine Alone Versus Ropivacaine With Dexamethasone or Clonidine Versus a Combination of Ropivacaine, Dexamethasone, and Clonidine for Supraclavicular Brachial Plexus Block Using Ultrasound:A Prospective, Observer-blinded, Randomized Study
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Ropivacaine, Ropivacaine and dexamethasone, and 2 other interventions for Upper Extremity Surgery. Completed, enrolled 97 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The aim of this randomized, observer-blinded study is to evaluate the postoperative analgesic efficacy of adding dexamethasone and clonidine to ropivacaine in supraclavicular nerve block. The investigators hypothesized that addition of dexamethasone and clonidine to ropivacaine would prolong the duration of analgesia in supraclavicular nerve block compared with ropivacaine alone.
