Arm Label

20 mL 0.5% Bupivacaine HCL

Interscalene nerve block with Liposomal + Bupivacaine 0.5%

Arm Description

Administered in an Interscalene block for TSA

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Opioid Utilization
Measure in morphine milligram equivalents [MME]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Opioid Utilization
Measure in morphine milligram equivalents [MME]
Score on Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Pain Intensity Scale
PROMIS Pain Intensity surveys are made up of three pain intensity questions, on a scale of 1-5. = No pain = Mild = Moderate = Severe = Very Severe
T-Scores, PROMIS Pain Intensity Scale
PROMIS Pain Intensity surveys are made up of three pain questions, which generate T-scores. T-scores are standard scores with a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10 in a reference population.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This is a phase IV , randomized, single-blind, single-center study comparing patient related outcomes such as postoperative pain and opioid usage for patients who receive ISB 's containing liposomal bupivacaine (Exparel®) plus 0.5% bupivacaine HCL versus 0.5% bupivacaine HCL undergoing total shoulder arthroplasty. The objective of this study is to compare opioid utilization and pain management of patients who receive Exparel in an ISB vs standard 0.5% bupivacaine HCL during the initial 72 --- hour post --- operative period. Additionally, to understand the duration of block after addition of Exparel® to bupivacaine in an Interscalene block after TSA.
