Perineural dexamethasone and intravenous (IV) dexamethasone have been shown to prolong peripheral nerve block duration. The effects of perineural and IV dexamethasone have only been compared at doses of 4 mg or greater. This triple-blind, randomized trial examined the effect of 1 mg IV versus perineural dexamethasone on interscalene block (ISB) analgesia duration.
Patients undergoing ambulatory shoulder arthroscopy received an ultrasound-guided ISB with 15 mL bupivacaine 0.5% and 1 mg preservative-free dexamethasone that was administered perineurally (PeriD) or IV (IVDex). All patients received IV ketorolac and were discharged on naproxen 500 mg 2 times a day plus oxycodone/acetaminophen as needed. Peripheral nerve block duration, pain, opioid consumption, and block satisfaction were assessed via telephone follow-ups.
There were 63 PeriD patients and 62 IVDex patients who completed the primary outcome follow-up. The median time until analgesia from the ISB completely wore off was 3.5 hours (95% confidence interval, 1.0-6.0 hours) longer in the PeriD versus IVDex groups; P = 0.007). Time until the pain relief from the ISB began to wear off was also longer in the PeriD versus IVDex group (5.5 hours [95% confidence interval, 2.1-9.0 hours]; P = 0.002). Other secondary outcomes, including opioid consumption, satisfaction, and pain scores, were not different between groups.
In patients undergoing shoulder arthroscopy, low-dose perineural dexamethasone (1 mg) in combination with 15 mL of 0.5% bupivacaine prolonged the median time until pain relief from the ISB completely wore off compared with 1 mg IV dexamethasone. However, the degree of prolongation was smaller than the a priori-defined minimal clinically meaningful difference of 5 hours.

已证实,外周神经鞘内给予地塞米松和静脉内(IV)给予地塞米松均可延长周围神经阻滞的持续时间。仅在 4mg 或更大剂量时比较过外周神经鞘内和 IV 地塞米松的作用。本三盲、随机试验研究了 1mg IV 与外周神经鞘内地塞米松对肩胛上神经阻滞(ISB)镇痛持续时间的影响。
接受日间肩关节镜检查的患者接受超声引导下 ISB,使用 15ml 0.5%布比卡因和 1mg 无防腐剂地塞米松,通过外周神经鞘内(PeriD)或静脉内(IVDex)给予。所有患者均接受 IV 酮咯酸,并出院时给予萘普生 500mg,每日 2 次,必要时给予羟考酮/对乙酰氨基酚。通过电话随访评估外周神经阻滞持续时间、疼痛、阿片类药物消耗和阻滞满意度。
完成主要结局随访的 PeriD 患者有 63 例,IVDex 患者有 62 例。从 ISB 完全失效到出现疼痛的中位时间在 PeriD 组比 IVDex 组长 3.5 小时(95%置信区间,1.0-6.0 小时);P = 0.007)。从 ISB 开始缓解疼痛到疼痛开始缓解的时间在 PeriD 组也比 IVDex 组长 5.5 小时(95%置信区间,2.1-9.0 小时);P = 0.002)。其他次要结局,包括阿片类药物消耗、满意度和疼痛评分,两组间无差异。
在接受肩关节镜检查的患者中,与 1mg IV 地塞米松相比,联合 0.5%布比卡因 15ml 时,外周神经鞘内给予低剂量地塞米松(1mg)可延长 ISB 完全失效后疼痛缓解的中位时间,与预先设定的 5 小时的最小临床有意义差异相比,延长程度较小。
