Filter by:Postoperative pain is a common manifestation in orthopedic patients, mainly due to intraoperative tissue damage , inadequate intraoperative pain assessment and management. Axillary nerve block provides motor and sensory block with the distribution of the median, radial, ulnar and musculocutaneous branches so it can be conducted with upper limb orthopedic surgery in hand, rest and elbow surgery distal to the cubital fossa.Sensory blockade of the brachial plexus for perioperative analgesia leads to stable haemodynamics intraoperatively, smoother emergence from general anaesthesia and decreased need for supplemental analgesics or suppositories in the Post-operative period Intravenous (IV) dexamethasone has been used as an additive to local anesthetic for peripheral nerve blocks (PNBs) in adults with variable efficacy.To the best of our knowledge the efficacy of intravenous dexamethasone as adjuvant to bupivacaine in ultrasound guided axillary brachial plexus block in pediatrics has not been investigated In this study the investigators will assess the analgesic effect of adding intravenous dexamethasone to bupivacaine in ultrasound guided axillary block in children undergoing upper limb orthopedic surgeries. Objectives: - To determine the effect of adding intravenous dexamethasone on the duration of analgesia . - To determine the effect of adding intravenousdexamethasone on quality of analgesia
Prospective up and down sequential evaluation of the minimal effective concentration of perineural ropivacaine for 90% success in axillary brachial plexus block with the injection of intravenous dexamethasone or saline placebo during regional anesthesia performance
This is a study to calculate the minimum effective volume of bupivacaine 0,5% with epinephrine for successful axillary brachial plexus block for hand surgery in 50% of the patients (MEV50).
