Bupivacaine infiltration for acute postoperative pain management after cardiac surgery.
Manuel Luque OliverosRubén Morilla Romero de la OsaPublished in: Nursing in critical care (2021)
Subcutaneous infiltration of 0.5% bupivacaine in the surgical site of patients who have undergone cardiac surgery showed clinically and statistically significant pain relief compared with patients who received saline infiltration throughout the first 12 hours after surgery. This intervention provides promising preliminary results that, alone or in conjunction with other nursing interventions, could constitute an important therapeutic tool for this area of nursing clinical practice.
