Systematic review compares liposomal bupivacaine with local anesthetics for pain relief in thoracoscopic lung surgery, suggesting small clinical significance.

Key Points

The review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of liposomal bupivacaine compared to conventional local anesthetics in managing postoperative pain following thoracoscopic lung surgery.
Conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Included studies compared liposomal bupivacaine with other local anesthetics.
Primary outcome measured was resting Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at various time points.
Liposomal bupivacaine resulted in lower resting VAS scores at 24, 48, and 72 hours.
Reduced morphine consumption noted at 24 and 72 hours.
No significant difference was found for morphine consumption at 48 hours or for postoperative nausea and vomiting.
