Clinical Trial: Efficacy of Intravenous Dexamethasone in Prolonging the Duration of Spinal Anesthesia With Chloroprocaine in Knee Arthroscopy

U.S., June 30 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07674576) titled 'Efficacy of Intravenous Dexamethasone in Prolonging the Duration of Spinal Anesthesia With Chloroprocaine in Knee Arthroscopy' on June 19.

Brief Summary: Chloroprocaine is a short-acting local anesthetic that allows rapid recovery and early ambulation but is currently recommended for procedures lasting 40 minutes or less.
