NCT04047446

Brief Summary

In this study, patients receiving shoulder arthroscopy will receive an interscalene block for pain management containing either liposomal bupivacaine and standard bupivacaine or standard bupivacaine and dexamethasone. Patients will be followed up with to determine postoperative pain and block duration.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) Pain at Rest Over 72 Hours

    NRS pain at rest averaged over the first 72 hours. NRS pain is on a scale from 0 (no pain at all) to 10 (worst pain imaginable). Patient reported pain at 24, 48, and 72 hours are averaged to produce this number. Lower score is a better outcome.

    First 72 hours pain

Secondary Outcomes (10)

  • Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) Pain at Rest

    Postanesthesia care unit (up to 6 hours postoperative), postoperative day 1, postoperative day 2, postoperative day 3, postoperative day 4, postoperative day 7

  • Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) Pain With Movement

    Postanesthesia care unit (up to 6 hours postoperative), postoperative day 1, postoperative day 2, postoperative day 3, postoperative day 4, postoperative day 7

  • Opioid Consumption
