  • Neurological and histological outcomes after subarachnoid injection of a liposomal bupivacaine suspension in pigs : a pilot study
    Žel, Jurij ...
    Background An injectable liposomal bupivacaine suspension (EXPAREL%) is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for analgesia by tissue infiltration and interscalene brachial plexus, but not ... for use in the neuraxial space. This pilot study describes neurological and histological outcomes of escalating doses of this extended-release formulation of bupivacaine after subarachnoid administration. Methods Twenty-five pigs (Sus scrofa domesticus) weighing 36.2 (4.4) kg were randomly assigned to one of five groups to receive a subarachnoid injection of sodium chloride 0.9%, 3 ml (negative control), preservative-free bupivacaine hydrochloride 0.5%, 3 ml (positive control), or one of three doses of liposomal bupivacaine suspension 1.33%: 1.5, 3, or 5 ml. After recovering from general anaesthesia, neurological outcomes were assessed by blinded observers. Three weeks later, the animals were sacrificed for histological evaluations of neurotoxicity. Results Animals that received sodium chloride 0.9%, bupivacaine hydrochloride, or liposomal bupivacaine 1.5 ml recovered within 2, 5, or 4 h, respectively. Animals that received liposomal bupivacaine 3 or 5 ml exhibited signs of neuraxial block (decreased nociception and proprioception) up to 32 h after injection. No histological evidence of neurotoxicity was found in any of the groups. Conclusions Subarachnoid administration of liposomal bupivacaine in pigs exhibited a dose-response effect, and resulted in longer duration of neuraxial block than bupivacaine hydrochloride without histological evidence of neurotoxicity. Our study contributes preliminary data to inform further toxicological assessments and regulatory approval before subarachnoid administrationBackground An injectable liposomal bupivacaine suspension (EXPAREL) is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for analgesia by tissue infiltration and interscalene brachial plexus, but not for use in the neuraxial space.
