Robotic Lung Surgery Clinical Trial
Official title:
Title of Project: Liposomal Bupivacaine (Exparel) Versus Bupivacaine And Dexamethasone Intercostal Nerve Blocks For Robotic Thoracic Surgery: A Prospective Randomized Single-Blinded Clinical Trial
This study will assess analgesia after robotic lung surgery. Subjects will be randomized to receive wound infiltration and intercostal nerve block with either liposomal bupivacaine or bupivacaine/epinephrine + dexamethasone. Liposomal bupivacaine is a newer local anesthetic product and has not been compared to a combination of bupivacaine/epinephrine + dexamethasone in the context of pain control after robotic lung surgery.
