“Single Shot Liposomal Bupivicaine in Rotator Cuff Surgery”
This document is a protocol for a human research study. This study is to be conducted according to United States standards of Good Clinical Practice in accordance with applicable Federal regulations and institutional research policies and procedures. Liposomal bupivacaine (LB) has been shown to decrease post-operative pain and narcotic use when administered perioperatively as a local injection during arthroplasty procedures. Studies have also demonstrated that LB used in conjunction with dexamethasone may increase the duration of effectiveness of LB. This study seeks to evaluate if there is a difference in post-operative pain and narcotic use when LB is administered in an interscalene block during outpatient rotator cuff repair surgery. Furthermore, this study aims to determine if the addition of dexamethasone with LB results in a prolonged decrease in post-operative pain and a reduction in narcotic use.

Drug - liposomal bupivicaine
The medication administered in the interscalene block is the intervention in this study. There are three different types of interscalene blocks that will be administered in order to compare the independent effectiveness of LB with the effectiveness of LB plus dexamethasone. Study participants will be randomized into one of three groups. The treatment groups are listed below: Group 1 (Control): 30 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine and 0.4ml (4 mg) of dexamethasone Group 2: 15ml 0.5% bupivacaine and 10ml (13 ...read more on ClinicalTrials.org
Drug - Dexamethasone
steroid that will be used in control as well as in group 3 to see if effect with liposomal bupivicaine is prolonged as has been shown with standard bupivicaine.
