Dose ranging study on the effect of preoperative dexamethasone on postoperative quality of recovery and opioid consumption after ambulatory gynaecological surgery

Dexamethasone demonstrated dose-dependent effects on quality of recovery. Dexamethasone 0.1 mg kg−1 reduced opioid consumption compared with dexamethasone 0.05 mg kg−1, which may be beneficial for improving recovery after ambulatory gynaecological surgery.
