Trial Outcomes & Findings for Intraoperative Liposomal Bupivacaine vs. Bupivacaine for Total Hip Replacement Pain Management (NCT NCT03001453)

NCT ID: NCT03001453

Last Updated: 2018-07-26

Results Overview

All opioid doses were administered to the patient at 12-hour intervals post-surgery. Doses were recorded till either of the following criteria was met, the patient was discharged or the 72-hour post-surgery timeframe ended. The doses were then collected and converted to OMEs, in milligrams.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 72 hours post-operation, divided into six 12-hour periods

Patient-reported VAS pain intensity score (0 = no pain, 10 = worst pain possible) will be collected. Mean VAS scores for the 72-hour period were calculated using the cohort's reported average pain scores at each 12-hour interval.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: from time of surgery until patient first ambulates more than 20 feet or 72 hours post-surgery or patient discharge, whichever comes first

The length of time (in hours) until the patient first ambulates more than 20 feet from the time of surgery will be recorded.
