Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Evaluate the benefit of using liposomal bupivicaine in lumbar laminectomies in terms of length of stay, IV narcotic use, 30-day narcotic use, visual analog score (VAS) and 30-day readmissions

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: Liposomal bupivacaine
Phase 2

Detailed Description

Recent evidence suggests the use of liposomal bupivicaine (LB) in lumbar spine surgery shortens length of hospital stay and overall post-operative narcotic use. Studies have shown its utility in single level microdiscectomies and lumbar fusions, but there have been no publications regarding lumbar laminectomies and associated outcomes with LB. The investigators' hypothesis is that LB will significantly shorten inpatient stays as well as overall narcotic usage in single, double or multi-level lumbar laminectomies.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Active Comparator: Liposomal Bupivicaine

Treatment with liposomal bupivicaine

Drug: Liposomal bupivacaine
Injection of either liposomal bupivicaine or standard local anesthetic during surgical procedure.
Other Names:
  • standard local anesthetic
  • Active Comparator: Standard Local Anesthestic

    Treatment with Standard Local Anesthestic

    Drug: Liposomal bupivacaine
    Injection of either liposomal bupivicaine or standard local anesthetic during surgical procedure.
    Other Names:
  • standard local anesthetic
  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Overall length of hospital stay from hospital admission to hospital discharge [From date of hospital admission until date of hospital discharge, assessed up to 2 weeks.]

      Length of stay will be measured in hours

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. IV narcotic usage [From date of hospital admission until date of hospital discharge, assessed up to 2 weeks.]

      Tracked by patient's electronic medical record

    2. 30-day narcotic usage [30-day post surgery]

      Narcotic usage will be assessed via state narcotic databases.

    3. Change in Visual Analog Pain scale scores [Screening, Day of Procedure, Prior to Hospital Discharge (Post-op, Up to 2 weeks), Up to 30-days post-surgery (Follow-Up#1) and up to 12-months post-op follow up]

      The scale is called the Visual Analog Pain scale. This scale provides a measure of the patient's reported level of pain . Patients will be asked to rate their pain level using the Visual Analog Pain scale. This scale uses numbers, 1-10, with 1 being no pain and 10 being the worst pain. It also uses faces depicting no pain up to the worst pain. Lower reported scores indicate the patient has little to no pain, which is desirable.

    4. 30-day readmission rates [Day 30]

      Occurrences of readmission will be tracked by patient's electronic medical record
