Study Summary

This trialcompares how well different anesthetics reduce pain and opioid use after skin grafts for partial or full thickness burns.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for English or Spanish speakers with less than 20% total body surface area (TBSA) burned and less than 5% deep partial/full thickness burns. It's not for those with chronic pain conditions, more extensive burns, pregnancy, or allergies to local anesthetics like lidocaine.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares the effectiveness of Lidocaine, Liposomal Bupivacaine, and regional nerve block in managing post-operative pain at skin graft donor sites in burn patients. It also looks at how these treatments affect opioid use after surgery.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions at the injection site such as redness or swelling, numbness beyond the target area, low blood pressure if absorbed into circulation in large amounts, and rare allergic reactions.

Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
A measurement of post operative pain involving skin graft donor site using visual analog scale (VAS) ranging 0-10, at 8 hours post-operatively
Secondary outcome measures
Opioid pain medication consumption up to 72 hours post-operatively will be compared between the subjects who are given liposomal bupivacaine (Exparel) and lidocaine at the donor sites
Pain Scores over 72 hours after surgery

Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Group 3Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Subjects will receive regional anesthesia with a bupivacaine nerve block; either a fascia iliaca, lateral femoral cutaneous, or femoral nerve block based on the proposed donor site location
Group II: Group 1Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Liposomal Bupivicaine (266mg/20ml) will be diluted into Lactated Ringer solution (280 ml) and injected once intra-operatively subcutaneously before donor site harvesting
Group III: Group 2Active Control1 Intervention
Lidocaine (50 mg/50 ml) will be diluted into Lactated Ringer (1000ml) and injected once subcutaneously before donor site harvesting
