Dexamethasone had been shown to prolong the duration of postoperative analgesia when given as an adjuvant for peripheral nerve blocks. The investigators compared the effect of perineural versus intravenous dexamethasone on the prolongation of the action of levobupivacaine in ultrasound guided interscalene block for shoulder and upper arm surgeries. The study hypothesized that adding perineural dexamethasone to levobupivacaine in ultrasound guided interscalene block may be more superior to adding intravenous dexamethasone to levobupivacaine and levobupivacaine alone in shoulder and upper arm surgeries as regard analgesic effect, duration of analgesia and hemodynamic stability.
