简要总结
Liposomal bupivacaine (trade name Exparel) is a local analgesic that is designed to produce more long-term pain control. Bupivacaine, a widely used local analgesic, is stored within liposomes, which break down in soft tissue over time. Typical length of therapeutic effect for standard bupivacaine is up to 6 hours. The liposomal formulation of bupivacaine, however, has a length of therapeutic effect of up to 72 hours. Typical post-operative incisional pain is known to last for several days in most cases and is thought to peak between 1-2 days after surgery. Therefore, the benefit of most short-acting local analgesics does not overlap with the period of most need.
详细描述
Use of liposomal bupivacaine has not been reported specifically for use in adolescent bariatric surgery. Our rationale is based on the notion that for most minimally invasive procedures, methods currently used for pain control provide good outcomes that liposomal bupivacaine may not necessarily be able to improve upon. It is critically important to minimize the narcotics for our bariatric surgical patients so they are mobilized early and frequently to minimize their risk for a deep venous thrombosis, which could become a pulmonary embolus. In addition, as these patients are prone to constipation after their operation as a result of their 2 week protein sparing liquid diet preoperatively, avoiding narcotics can reduce their chances of further challenges in return of their bowel function. For these reasons, we seek to investigate whether incorporating liposomal bupivacaine in the analgesic regimen for patients undergoing a laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy will lead to improvements in patient-reported outcomes and decreased opioid utilization.

结局指标
主要结局
Changed pain scores using liposomal bupivacaine day 1 post-operative
时间窗: Day 1 post-operative
Using the 10 point pain scale, determine if liposomal bupivacaine use leads to changed pain scores on post-operative day 1 compared to standard analgesics after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
次要结局
- Changed pain scores liposomal bupivacaine days 0, 2,3 post-operative(Days 0, 2, 3 post-operative)
- Changed use of opioid medications post operative days 0-3(Post-operative days 0-3)
