Summary
Researchers hope to learn whether giving the longer-acting local anesthetic liposomal bupivacaine prior to closing the sternum is more effective in managing pain following sternotomy, than in patients who received standard bupivacaine before sternal closure. Researchers will measure this based on how much IV pain medication is used, rates on confusion, and time to remove the breathing tube.
