TY - JOUR AU - Rayaz, Hassan AU - Bravos, E. David AU - Gottschalk, Allan PY - 2019 TI - The role of liposomal bupivacaine in thoracic surgery JF - Journal of Thoracic Disease; Vol 11, Supplement 9 (May 28, 2019): Journal of Thoracic Disease Y2 - 2019 KW - N2 - For advocates of regional analgesia, the appeal of a local anesthetic formulation with a duration of action of several days is clear. Liposomal bupivacaine (LB), now with FDA approval for local infiltration and interscalene nerve blockā€”but not neuraxial use though it has been used there (1), provides multiple days of local anesthetic availability though at a lower tissue concentration than standard bupivacaine preparations (bupivacaine hydrochloride; BH).
