Dexamethasone Versus Demedetomidine Addition for Adductor Canal Block

Single-injection peripheral nerve block (PNB) is commonly used for perioperative analgesia and anesthesia. Three approaches for extending the duration of PNB include continuous PNB with catheter-based techniques, novel local anesthetics delivery systems and addition of novel adjuvants to local anesthetics.
