Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Bupivacaine
50 randomized participants in group receive 20cc 0.25% bupivacaine injected perineurally for interscalene nerve block.
Bupivacaine
Control Group receives 20 cc 0.25% bupivacaine without any adjuvants
Dexamethasone and Bupivacaine
50 randomized participants in group will 8 mg(2cc of 4mg/cc solution) Dexamethasone added to 20 cc 0.25% bupivacaine in one syringe resulting in 364 µgm/cc for injection. Injected perineurally for interscalene nerve block pre-operatively.
Dexamethasone
8mg (2cc 4mg/cc Solution) mixed with 20 cc 0.25% bupivacaine in one syringe resulting in 364 µgm/cc for injection in perineural space. One time dose during nerve block preoperatively.
