Dexamethasone Versus Nalbuphine as Adjuvants in Brachial Plexus Block

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Brachial plexus block is a very reliable method of regional anesthesia for the upper limb. It achieves ideal operating conditions by producing complete muscular relaxation and stable intraoperative hemodynamics.However,Local anesthetics alone have a shorter duration of postoperative analgesia. Hence,various adjuvants have been added to local anesthetics to achieve quick, dense, and prolonged block. This study assess and compare the efficacy of dexamethasone or nalbuphine as adjuvants to local anesthetics in supraclavicular brachial plexus block for upper limb surgeries.

Clinical Trial Description

Upper-limb surgeries can be performed under either general or regional anesthesia.However, regional anesthesia has the advantages of long-lasting pain relief & avoidance of airway instrumentation.Brachial plexus block is a very reliable method of regional anesthesia for the upper limb. It achieves ideal operating conditions by producing complete muscular relaxation and stable intraoperative hemodynamics.However,Local anesthetics alone have a shorter duration of postoperative analgesia. Hence,various adjuvants have been added to local anesthetics to achieve quick, dense, and prolonged block. This study assess and compare the efficacy of using 8 mg dexamethasone or 10 mg nalbuphine as adjuvants to local anesthetics mixture (Lidocaine 2% + bupivacaine 0.5% 1:1 mixture) in Ultrasound-guided supraclavicular brachial plexus block for upper limb surgeries below the level of the shoulder. ;
