Description
Fiorillo and co-authors reviewed, in a 2024 cohort study, a long-acting numbing mix used in nerve blocks for teenagers having bone surgery. The mix pairs liposomal bupivacaine, which releases slowly, with the standard fast form. One shot might then replace a catheter drip.
Charts from 2020 to 2024 covered 524 blocks in 374 patients aged 11 to 17, most in the lower limb. Forty percent needed two blocks for full coverage. Shoulder-area and thigh-canal blocks were the most common sites. A short survey after discharge added patients' own reports for part of the period. The authors map how this off-label technique is actually used in adolescents, a step toward judging its safety and value against catheter care.
