Brief Summary

However, local anesthetic agents can produce analgesia for a limited time when used as a single injection. Bupivacaine is a local anesthetic that has an immediate action on pain by blocking peripheral afferents. However, as the ideal analgesic, the drug must cover the whole postoperative period (≥ 24 hours); therefore, bupivacaine is usually combined with many adjutants to provide long-lasting post-arthroscopy analgesia.
