The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of intravenous (IV) dexamethasone on the duration of hyperbaric bupivacaine spinal anesthesia.
Two hundred patients between the ages of 18 and 60, of both sexes with ASA I- II classification scheduled for lower abdominal surgery under spinal anesthesia using hyperbaric bupivacaine 0.5% were randomly divided into two groups: the dexamethasone group (Dexa group) and the control group, with 100 patients in each group. Before the administration of spinal anesthesia, the Dexa group received an intravenous infusion of 8 mg dexamethasone in 500 mL normal saline, while the control group received 500 mL normal saline only. The primary outcome of this study was to assess the effect of IV dexamethasone on the regression of hyperbaric bupivacaine spinal anesthesia. Secondary outcome measures included the total duration of sensory and motor blocks, VAS score, time of first analgesic request, total analgesic consumption within the first 24 h, and the occurrence of any side effects.
The Dexa group had significantly delayed onset of 2 dermatomes regression (P < 0.001) compared to the control group. Additionally, the Dexa group had significantly longer duration of both sensory block (P = 0.01) and motor block (P < 0.001). The Dexa group had significantly longer duration until the first postoperative analgesic request (P < 0.001) and a lower incidence of side effects compared to the control group.
Although the intravenous administration of dexamethasone had a limited effect on the duration of hyperbaric bupivacaine spinal anesthesia, it improved postoperative VAS scores compared to the control group and decreased overall postoperative analgesic consumption. Therefore, it can be considered a valuable addition to postoperative multimodal analgesia strategies, aiming to minimize total analgesic consumption.

本研究旨在探讨静脉注射地塞米松对布比卡因椎管内麻醉持续时间的影响。
选择 200 例年龄在 18 至 60 岁之间、ASA I-II 分级、拟行下腹部手术的患者,在蛛网膜下腔注射 0.5%重比重布比卡因,随机分为两组:地塞米松组(Dexa 组)和对照组,每组 100 例。在给予蛛网膜下腔麻醉前,Dexa 组静脉输注 8mg 地塞米松加入 500ml 生理盐水,对照组给予 500ml 生理盐水。本研究的主要结局是评估静脉注射地塞米松对布比卡因椎管内麻醉消退的影响。次要结局包括感觉和运动阻滞的总持续时间、VAS 评分、首次镇痛要求时间、24 小时内总镇痛消耗以及任何不良反应的发生。
与对照组相比,Dexa 组 2 个皮区的消退时间明显延迟(P<0.001)。此外,Dexa 组的感觉阻滞(P=0.01)和运动阻滞(P<0.001)持续时间明显更长。Dexa 组首次术后镇痛请求时间明显延长(P<0.001),且不良反应发生率低于对照组。
虽然静脉注射地塞米松对布比卡因椎管内麻醉持续时间的影响有限,但与对照组相比,它改善了术后 VAS 评分,并降低了术后总镇痛消耗。因此,它可以被认为是一种有价值的术后多模式镇痛策略的附加手段,旨在最大限度地减少总镇痛消耗。
