Table 1.
B Group = bupivacaine only; BL Group = bupivacaine and liposomal bupivacaine; BLKi Group = ketorolac given intraoperatively plus bupivacaine and liposomal bupivacaine; BLKp = ketorolac given postoperatively plus bupivacaine and liposomal bupivacaine. Variables listed above include age, BMI, time spent in the pacu (post anesthesia care unit), pain score immediately upon PACU arrival, pain score upon discharge, timing of narcotic administration, amount of meperidine given (mg), patients receiving meperidine, and patients receiving antiemetics.
