Beta-adrenergic activation induces cardiac collapse by aggravating cardiomyocyte contractile dysfunction in bupivacaine intoxication. [PDF]
In order to determine the role of the adrenergic system in bupivacaine-induced cardiotoxicity, a series of experiments were performed. In an animal experiment, male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats under chloral hydrate anesthesia received intravenous ...

Liposomal Bupivacaine in Transversus Abdominis Plane Block for Postoperative Pain Control After Autologous Breast Reconstruction: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Autologous breast reconstruction using abdominally based flaps is common post‐mastectomy, but donor‐site pain often leads to prolonged opioid use. The transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block is a common regional anesthesia technique, with bupivacaine as the standard anesthetic.

Liposomal bupivacaine: a review of a new bupivacaine formulation
Many attempts have been made to increase the duration of local anesthetic action. One avenue of investigation has focused on encapsulating local anesthetics within carrier molecules to increase their residence time at the site of action. This article aims to review the literature surrounding the recently approved formulation of bupivacaine, which ...

Direct Vasocontractile Activities of Bupivacaine Enantiomers on the Isolated Rat Thoracic Aorta
Background. In vitro studies with isolated arteries have shown direct vasoactivity of racemic bupivacaine. However, there is little information on the direct vasoactivities of bupivacaine enantiomers, S(−)- and R(+)-bupivacaine. Methods.
