Clinical Trial Summary

Effect of Perineural Dexamethasone on the duration of popliteal nerve block for Anesthesia After Pediatric ankle/foot surgery.


Clinical Trial Description

This study is proposed to explore the effect of systemic Dexamethasone on the duration of supraclavicular brachial plexus block for analgesia after pediatric ankle surgery. After hand and wrist surgery, children need good analgesia. Peripheral nerve blocks have provided a safe, effective method to control early postoperative pain when symptoms are most severe. The safety of local anesthesia is essential in children due to the much lower toxicity threshold of local anesthetics. An effective adjuvant, such as Dexamethasone, could allow for a higher dilution of local anesthetics while maintaining and enhancing their analgesic effect. There is considerable research where intravenous and perineural dexamethasone use has been compared in adults. However, there is a massive lack of research regarding children. In this study, investigators compare different doses of perineural Dexamethasone. Groups 2 and 3 have dexamethasone doses of 0.1mg/kg and 0.05mg/kg added to local anesthetic. The investigator's goal is to find a dexamethasone dose that is as low as possible but simultaneously covers the need for good pain relief and fast recovery postoperatively. ;
