Efficacy of Different Doses of Dexamethasone as Pre-emptive Analgesia in Patients Undergoing Total Abdominal Hysterectomy under General Anaesthesia: A Prospective Non Randomised Placebo Controlled Study
Abstract:Introduction: Pre-emptive analgesia reduces postoperative analgesic requirement, avoiding side-effects that occur with parenteral narcotics. Dexamethasone, a long acting synthetic corticosteroid with predominantly glucocorticoid activity is one of the entities used for pre-emptive analgesia. The optimum dose of dexamethasone for pre-emptive analgesia is not defined. Aim: To study the efficiency of different (low, intermediate and high) doses of dexamethasone as pre-emptive analgesia in patients undergoing tot… Show more
