NCT02349542

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the serum levels (pharmacokinetics) of bupivacaine in a series of patients undergoing simultaneous bilateral total knee arthroplasty with the use of a standardized periarticular injection containing free bupivacaine and liposomal bupivacaine.

  • Adverse Events

    Number of Participants with Adverse Events

    Up to 72 hours following injection

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Plasma Bupivacaine Levels

Liposomal bupivacaine

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients will receive liposomal bupivacaine following simultaneous bilateral total knee arthroplasty.

Drug: Liposomal bupivacaine

Interventions

One (1) 20 mL vial of 266 mg liposomal bupivacaine (3% (\~8mg free bupivacaine)) will be injected into each surgical (knee) site following simultaneous bilateral total knee arthroplasty. In addition, 30 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine (75 mg free bupivacaine) will be injected into each surgical (knee) site for a total of 83 mg free bupivacaine injected into each surgical (knee) site.
