Summary
It has been largely demonstrated that iv dexamethasone prolongs the duration of analgesia
after peripheral nerve block. However, data are missing regarding the duration of analgesia
after spinal block. The objective of this randomized controlled double-blinded trial is to
assess whether intravenous dexamethasone administered after a spinal block, before the
surgery would prolong sensory block characteristics without impacting the motor block
duration.
