NCT04814433

Brief Summary

This study is a prospective randomized trial examining the effect of topically combined antifibrinolytics (Tranexamic acid) with local anesthetics in all electively created surgical wound beds in hand surgery to provide long term pain relief and decrease the use of postoperative narcotics.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in Postoperative Pain Control

    Measured by self-reported level of pain recorded in a daily pain diary made by the researchers from the day of the surgery until post-operative day 14. The levels of pain are scored in the following manner: 1-2 no pain, 3-4 mild pain, 5-6 moderate pain, 7-8 severe pain, 9-10 worst pain imaginable.

    Day 1 preoperative , Day 14 postoperative

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Amount of Opioid Pain Medication Required Postoperatively

    From Day 1 postoperative to Day 14 postoperative

  • Total Time in Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU)

    From Day 1 postoperative until discharge from PACU (up to 1 day)

Study Arms (4)

Topical lidocaine and bupivacaine alone

EXPERIMENTAL

Drug: Lidocaine Hydrochloride with EpinephrineDrug: Bupivacaine Hydrochloride with Epinephrine

Topical lidocaine and bupivacaine with thrombin

EXPERIMENTAL

Drug: Recombinant Human ThrombinDrug: Lidocaine Hydrochloride with EpinephrineDrug: Bupivacaine Hydrochloride with Epinephrine

Topical lidocaine and bupivacaine with thrombin and tranexamic acid

EXPERIMENTAL

In this treatment group, each solution will include 5 ml of 1% lidocaine, 5 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine, 10000 units of thrombin, and 500 mg of tranexamic acid

Drug: Tranexamic acidDrug: Recombinant Human ThrombinDrug: Lidocaine Hydrochloride with EpinephrineDrug: Bupivacaine Hydrochloride with Epinephrine

Topical lidocaine and bupivacaine with thrombin and aminocaproic acid

EXPERIMENTAL

Drug: Tranexamic acidDrug: Aminocaproic acidDrug: Recombinant Human ThrombinDrug: Lidocaine Hydrochloride with EpinephrineDrug: Bupivacaine Hydrochloride with Epinephrine

Interventions

FDA-approved usage for intravenous tranexamic acid (TXA) is for heavy menstrual bleeding and short-term prevention in patients with hemophilia. Total dose of 500 mg (20 mL) total will be given.

Topical lidocaine and bupivacaine with thrombin and aminocaproic acidTopical lidocaine and bupivacaine with thrombin and tranexamic acid

FDA notes that aminocaproic acid is useful in enhancing hemostasis when fibrinolysis contributes to bleeding. Aminocaproic acid inhibits both the action of plasminogen activators and to a lesser degree, plasmin activity. The fibrinolysis-inhibitory effects of aminocaproic acid appear to be exerted principally via inhibition of plasminogen activators and to a lesser degree through antiplasmin activity. Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit. Total of 1000 mg total will be given.

Topical lidocaine and bupivacaine with thrombin and aminocaproic acid

Topical thrombin is FDA approved as an aid to hemostasis whenever oozing blood and minor bleeding from capillaries and small venules is accessible and control of bleeding by standard surgical techniques is not sufficient. Recombinant human thrombin is available as 5000-unit and 20,000-unit vials of sterile recombinant topical thrombin lyophilized powder for solution. When reconstituted as directed, the final solution contains 1000 units/mL. For topical application, a total of 10000 units per open surgical study arm involving use of Thrombin will be given

Topical lidocaine product is FDA approved as an amide local anesthetic in any indication for relief of pain associated with superficial minor surgery and as an adjunct for local infiltration anesthesia. It is frequently used as a standard local anesthetic for surgical procedures. Each mL contains lidocaine hydrochloride and epinephrine, with 0.5 mg sodium metabisulfite as an antioxidant and 0.2 mg citric acid as a stabilizer. Total of 5 mLs per open surgical study arm involving lidocaine hydrochloride and epinephrine will be given

Topical bupivacaine is FDA approved as indicated for the production of local anesthesia for procedures by infiltration injection. It is frequently used as a standard local anesthetic for surgical procedures. Each mL contains bupivacaine hydrochloride and 0.005 mg epinephrine, with 0.5 mg sodium metabisulfite as an antioxidant and 0.2 mg citric acid (anhydrous) as stabilizer. Total of 5 mLs per open surgical study arm involving Bupivacaine Hydrochloride with Epinephrine will be given
