Summary
The purpose of the study is to determine if perineural dexmedetomidine can provide increased
prolongation of analgesia when compared to perineural dexamethasone in patients receiving
regional block for shoulder surgery. If so, dexmedetomidine may serve as a superior adjunct
to peripheral nerve blocks in a rapidly evolving, ambulatory-centered surgical setting.
