Liposomal Bupivacaine vs Dexamethasone ISB
Study Details
Study Description
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 Outcome Measures
- Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) Pain at Rest Over 72 Hours [First 72 hours pain]
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.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- 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]
NRS pain is on a scale from 0 (no pain at all) to 10 (worst pain imaginable) and is patient reported for pain at rest. Lower score is a better outcome.
- 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]
NRS pain is on a scale from 0 (no pain at all) to 10 (worst pain imaginable) and is patient reported for pain with movement. Lower score means better outcome.
- Opioid Consumption [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, measured in oral morphine equivalents
- Patient Satisfaction With Pain Management: Scale [Postanesthesia care unit (up to 6 hours postoperative), postoperative day 1, postoperative day 2, postoperative day 3, postoperative day 4, postoperative day 7]
Patient reported satisfaction on a scale of 0 (not satisfied) to 10 (complete satisfaction). This is patient opinionated and is reflective with patient contentedness with their pain management. Higher scores indicate greater satisfaction
- Brief Pain Inventory Short-form [Postanesthesia care unit (up to 6 hours postoperative), postoperative day 1, postoperative day 2, postoperative day 3, postoperative day 4, postoperative day 7]
The Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) rapidly assesses the severity of pain and its impact on functioning. Higher scores indicate more pain. The minimum value is 0, the maximum value is 10. A lower score is a better outcome. This score is an average of the following measures on a 0-10 scale: General activity, Mood, Walking ability, Normal work, Relations to People, Sleep Quality, and Enjoyment of life.
- Duration of Analgesic Block [24, 48, 72, 96 (if needed) hours postoperatively]
Patients are contacted and asked questions regarding their motor strength and sensation in their shoulder. Patients are asked "When did your pain relief from the block completely wear off?" This indicates the block duration.
- Sensory Resolution [24, 48, 72, 96 (if needed) hours postoperatively]
Patients are contacted and asked questions regarding their motor strength and sensation in their shoulder.
- Motor Block Resolution [24, 48, 72, 96 (if needed) hours postoperatively]
Patients are contacted and asked questions regarding their motor strength and sensation in their shoulder.
- Time to Readiness for Discharge [Postanesthesia care unit (0-6 hours postoperative)]
Time to readiness for PACU discharge was evaluated every 15min using the Post Anesthetic Discharge Scoring System.
- Postanesthesia Care Unit Length of Stay [Postanesthesia care unit (0-6 hours postoperative)]
Total length of PACU stay as defined by time of PACU admission to PACU discharge.
