Sponsor's own description
* SCBPBs provides optimal conditions for procedures performed below the mid-upper arm (elbow, forearm, wrist, hand) due to its high success rate and ease of access. * Dexamethasone, when administered perineurally as an adjuvant for a supraclavicular block, demonstrated early onset of sensory and motor block, a prolonged duration of sensory and motor block, and a lower number of rescue analgesics as compared to bupivacaine alone. * A combination of dexamethasone and bupivacaine is paramount in adult orthopeadic patient to enhance the efficacy of pain management under ultrasound-guided supraclavicular brachial plexus block.
