Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The purpose of this study is to quantify the total blood serum levels of bupivacaine in OrthoPAT® collected blood 2 hours and 5 hours postoperatively. Hypothesis: Filtered blood from the OrthoPAT® autotransfusion system contains low or undetectable levels of bupivacaine hydrochloride (HCL). Reinfusion of collected blood from the OrthoPAT® device when used in conjunction with periarticular bupivicaine injections will not pose a bupivocaine toxicity risk to patients undergoing a total joint arthroplasty.
