Summary
The aim of this randomized, observer-blinded study is to evaluate the postoperative analgesic
efficacy of adding dexamethasone and clonidine to ropivacaine in supraclavicular nerve block.
The investigators hypothesized that addition of dexamethasone and clonidine to ropivacaine
would prolong the duration of analgesia in supraclavicular nerve block compared with
ropivacaine alone.
