NCT01509638

Brief Summary

This study is designed to compare the standard of care against EXPAREL (bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension) to determine if total opioid consumption is reduced when using EXPAREL, therefore possibly reducing total hospitalization costs.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

    Total opioid consumed (IV and PO) postsurgically until hospital discharge order is written or through Day 30, whichever is sooner.

    Wound closure to time hospital discharge order is written or Day 30, whichever is sooner

  • Health Economic Benefits

    Total cost of hospitalization until the time the discharge order is written or through Day 30, whichever is sooner.

    Wound closure to time hospital discharge order is written or Day 30, whichever is sooner.

  • Health Economic Benefit

    Length of stay (LOS), recorded in hours, defined as the time of completion of the wound closure until the hospital discharge order is written or through Day 30, whichever is sooner.

    Wound closure to time hospital discharge order is written or Day 30, whichever is sooner.

Secondary Outcomes (7)

    Wound closure to time hospital discharge order is written or Day 30, whichever is sooner.

  • Patient Discharged From Hospital for at Least 3 Days

    Wound closure to time hospital discharge order is written or Day 30, whichever is sooner.

  • Patient Made Unplanned Visit(s) With Any Healthcare Providers

    Wound closure to time hospital discharge order is written or Day 30, whichever is sooner.

Study Arms (2)

Group 1 Standard of Care

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

IV Morphine sulfate or Sponsor-approved equivalent via a patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) pump

Drug: Group 1 Standard of Care

Group 2 EXPAREL

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension.

Drug: Group 2 EXPAREL

Interventions

Patients in this group will receive IV morphine sulfate or Sponsor-approved equivalent via PCA pump, as needed.

Group 1 Standard of Care

Patients in this group will receive 266 mg EXPAREL diluted with preservative-free 0.9% normal saline to a total volume of 30cc and administered via wound infiltration prior to wound closure. When not contraindicated, 30 mg IV ketorolac will be given at the end of surgery. If not indicated, IV non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) may be substituted per the site's standard of care.
