Bupivacaine/Epinephrine +Dexamethasone vs. Liposomal Bupivacaine

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

This study will assess analgesia after robotic lung surgery. Subjects will be randomized to receive wound infiltration and intercostal nerve block with either liposomal bupivacaine or bupivacaine/epinephrine + dexamethasone. Liposomal bupivacaine is a newer local anesthetic product and has not been compared to a combination of bupivacaine/epinephrine + dexamethasone in the context of pain control after robotic lung surgery.
