Brief summary

To compare the effects of preoperative intravenous Dexamethasone between 10 mg and 40 mg with placebo on Postoperative Pain After Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty

Detailed description

It still unclear whether the effective dose preoperative intravenous dexamethasone on postoperative pain after Total Hip Arthroplasty. The research hypothesis is that the effect of 10 mg intravenous Dexamethasone in postoperative pain(5 metre walking at 24 hour) is not inferior to 40 mg intravenous Dexamethasone

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Visual analogue scales for pain during five-metre walking (0-100)at 24 hours postoperativelyEach pain outcome will be assessed using a visual analogue scale of 0-100 mm, in which 0 indicates no pain and 100 indicates the worst pain;

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Visual analogue scales for pain on 45 degree active hip flexion (0-100)Postoperative at 24,48,72 hours.Each pain outcome will be assessed using a visual analogue scale of 0-100 mm, in which 0 indicates no pain and 100 indicates the worst pain;
Visual analogue scales for current pain at rest on supine position (0-100)Postoperative at 6,24,48,72 hours.Each pain outcome will be assessed using a visual analogue scale of 0-100 mm, in which 0 indicates no pain and 100 indicates the worst pain;
Visual analogue scales for the maximal pain at rest over the last 24 hours and the minimal pain at rest over the last 24 hours (0-100)Postoperative at 0-24,24-48,48-72 hours.Each pain outcome will be assessed using a visual analogue scale of 0-100 mm, in which 0 indicates no pain and 100 indicates the worst pain;
Visual analogue scales for pain during five-metre walking (0-100)Postoperative at 48,72 hours.Each pain outcome will be assessed using a visual analogue scale of 0-100 mm, in which 0 indicates no pain and 100 indicates the worst pain;
Opioid consumption (mg.)Postoperative at 0-24,24-48,48-72 hoursOpioid consumption (mg.)
Anti-emetic medicine consumption (mg.)Postoperative at 0-24,24-48,48-72 hoursAnti-emetic medicine consumption (mg.)
Wound complicationPostoperative at Discharge, 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 12 weeks.Wound complications (including periprosthetic joint infection and inadequate wound healing). Periprosthetic joint infection will be diagnosed using the criteria outlined by the Musculoskeletal Infection Society. Inadequate wound healing is defined as delayed wound healing or wound dehiscence
Visual analogue scales for nausea (0-100)Postoperative at 6,24,48,72 hoursThis outcome will be assessed in a form of visual analogue scale of 0-100 mm, in which 0 indicates no nausea or vomiting and 100 indicates the worst nausea or vomiting
