Measure
Bupivacaine SNB + EXPAREL Infiltration
Spinal block with bupivacaine HCl 7.5 mg/mL. Local infiltration of EXPAREL 266 mg. Bupivacaine SNB: SNB with a single 1.6 mL dose of bupivacaine HCl 7.5 mg/mL within 2 hours prior to the surgical procedure. EXPAREL Infiltration: Local infiltration of EXPAREL 266 mg into the surgical site at the end of the surgery just prior to wound closure.
