Active Comparator
Liposomal Bupivacaine
Standard Bupivacaine
5cc of drug preparation will be percutaneously injected into each intercostal space 3-10 under direct intrathoracic vision and subcutaneously into each surgical wound at the conclusion of the surgery. Drug Preparation: 266mg (20cc) Liposomal Bupivacaine admixed with 0.25% (2.5mg/cc) Standard Bupivacaine (maximum dose of 2mg/kg) and varied 0.9% normal saline volume for total volume of 60cc.
