Liposomal Bupivacaine Versus Lidocaine for Skin Graft Donor Site Pain

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Donor site pain study comparing post-operative donor site pain and opioid consumption after use of Lidocaine, Liposomal Bupivicaine or regional nerve block for split thickness skin graft harvesting in patients with less than 20% TBSA burn wounds and less than %5 Deep partial or full thickness burn wounds.

Clinical Trial Description

The first phase of the study was a randomized controlled study. In the second phase, all subjects will receive fascia iliaca, lateral femoral cutaneous, or femoral nerve blocks based on the proposed donor site location and will be compared to historic controls from the first phase. In the first phase, the control group underwent split thickness autografting using the standard protocol, involving injection of lidocaine with epinephrine at the donor site. In the first phase, the experimental group underwent injection of liposomal bupivacaine (Exparel) at the time of harvest of the skin graft. In the second phase, patients will undergo preoperative regional anesthesia with a fascia iliaca, lateral femoral cutaneous, or femoral nerve block based on the proposed donor site location rather than the standard protocol of lidocaine with epinephrine at the donor site. Thus, in the second phase, group 3 (preoperative block group) will be compared to historic controls which received the standard of care in the first phase of this trial. Baseline pain levels will be obtained for all subjects using a validated pain assessment scale, the Visual Analog Pain Scale. Postoperatively, time to first opioid pain medication (excluding immediate postoperative recovery from anesthesia), total opioid consumption on a daily basis, and donor site interval pain scores using a validated pain assessment scale will be obtained. The experimental groups will then be individually compared to the control group to determine if there is a significant difference in pain levels, time to first opioid, and overall opioid consumption between the groups. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
