Measure
Intravenous (IV) Control Group
This group will be comprised of 20 subjects who will receive an ultrasound-guided supraclavicular brachial plexus block with 30ml of ropivacaine 0.5% with 1:400,000 epinephrine and an IV preservative-free dexamethasone 8 mg injection. Ropivacaine + Dexamethasone
Local Anesthetic (LA) Control Group
This group will be comprised of 20 subjects who will receive an ultrasound-guided supraclavicular brachial plexus block with 30ml of ropivacaine 0.5% with 1:400,000 epinephrine and an intravenous (IV) normal saline placebo injection. Ropivacaine + Placebo
Additive Group
This group will be comprised of 20 subjects who will receive an ultrasound-guided supraclavicular brachial plexus block with 30ml of ropivacaine 0.5% with both 1:400,000 epinephrine and preservative-free dexamethasone 8mg and an IV normal saline placebo injection. Ropivacaine + Dexamethasone + Placebo
