Assessing Outcomes of Pain Interventions

Impact of Dexamethasone on Postoperative Outcomes in Regional Anesthesia for Orthopedic Procedures: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Friday, November 14, 2025
10:35 AM - 10:40 AM CT
Location: Lone Star Salon D - E
Introduction: Intravenous (IV) dexamethasone has been shown as a useful adjuvant to prolong the analgesic duration of peripheral nerve blocks. There is a lack of research, however, on whether it offers any additional benefit for postoperative outcomes. We studied patients undergoing upper and lower extremity orthopedic procedures requiring single-shot peripheral nerve block to elucidate if administration of IV dexamethasone impacted postoperative outcomes.
