Does dexamethasone improve the quality of intravenous regional anesthesia and analgesia? A randomized, controlled clinical study.

abstract：:Cimetidine blunts the increase in cerebral blood flow (CBF) normally observed during hypoxia. It is important, therefore, to know whether other H2-blockers also affect the cerebral circulation adaptation to hypoxia. Cerebral blood flow was measured in 24 awake dogs after an intravenous injection of either saline (cont...
