Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this prospective clinical study is to compare the effectiveness of dexamethasone and magnesium sulfate added as adjuvants to bupivacaine in infraclavicular brachial plexus block used under ultrasound guidance for upper extremity surgeries.

Clinical Trial Description

This study was conducted on 90 patients who underwent upper extremity surgery under infraclavicular brachial plexus block. 90 patients included in the study were randomized into 3 groups of 30 people each by the sealed envelope method. 30 participants were included in Group Bupivacaine, 30 participants were included in Group Bupivacaine + Dexamethasone and 30 participants were included in Group Bupivacaine + Magnesium sulfate. The study was started as double blind. According to the local anesthetic used, patients were group B (30 patients, 20 cc 0.5% bupivacaine + 5 cc 0.9% NaCl), group B+D (30 patients, 20 cc 0.5% bupivacaine + 4 mg dexamethasone + 4 cc 0.9% NaCl), group They were divided into three groups as B+M (30 patients, 20 cc 0.5% bupivacaine + 150 mg magnesium sulfate + 4 cc 0.9% NaCl). Complications of the patients, such as sensory block and motor block onset times, peroperative hemodynamic parameters, need for additional analgesia, postoperative block duration, analgesia duration, opioid and NSAID consumption, nausea and vomiting, were recorded ;
