Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the use of bupivacaine multivesicular liposomes (MVLs) as stellate ganglion block (SGB) for treating or ameliorating various diseases and conditions, including but not limited to cardiac electrical storm or cardiac arrythmia/dysrhythmia following heart surgery.

Uses of bupivacaine multivesicular liposomes as stellate ganglion block

In some embodiments provided herein are methods of administering an adductor canal block in a patient, wherein the methods include: (a) selecting an entry point of an injection needle in a leg of the patient; (b) inserting the injection needle into the leg of the patient at the entry point; (c) identifying a first nerve in the leg of the patient; (d) administering to the first nerve saline and a pharmaceutical composition; (e) identifying a second nerve in the leg of the patient; (f) administering to the second nerve saline and the pharmaceutical composition; wherein the first nerve and second nerve are selected from the group consisting of the nerve to vastus medialis (NVM) and the saphenous nerve, and wherein the first nerve is not the second nerve, and wherein the pharmaceutical composition comprises multivesicular liposomes.

Treatment of pain associated with total knee arthroplasty with sustained-release liposomal anesthetic compositions

In some embodiments provided herein is a method of treating pain, the method comprising administering to the subject a pharmaceutical composition comprising: a) a multivesicular liposome comprising: at least one amphipathic lipid, and at least one neutral lipid; and b) an aqueous phase comprising bupivacaine phosphate, wherein the aqueous phase is encapsulated within the multivesicular liposome.

Treatment of pain in pediatric patients by administration of sustained-release liposomal anesthetic compositions

In some embodiments provided herein is a method of treating hip pain in a subject, the method comprising administering into the subject a pharmaceutical composition comprising: a) a multivesicular liposome comprising: at least one amphipathic lipid, and at least one neutral lipid; and b) an aqueous phase comprising bupivacaine phosphate, wherein the aqueous phase is encapsulated within the multivesicular liposome.

Treatment of hip pain with sustained-release liposomal anesthetic compositions

Provided herein are methods of administering to a peroneal and a tibial nerve of a patient, wherein the methods include: (a) selecting an entry point of an injection needle in a leg of a patient; (b) inserting the injection needle into the patient at the entry point; (c) administering to a sciatic nerve of the patient via the injection needle saline and a pharmaceutical composition; wherein the pharmaceutical composition comprises multivesicular liposomes comprising: at least one amphipathic lipid, at least one neutral lipid, and bupivacaine phosphate, wherein the bupivacaine phosphate is encapsulated within the multivesicular liposome.

Treatment of post-operative pain via sciatic nerve block with sustained-release liposomal anesthetic compositions

In some embodiments provided herein is a method of treating pain, the method comprising injecting into the subarachnoid space of the subject a pharmaceutical composition comprising: a) a multivesicular liposome comprising: at least one amphipathic lipid, and at least one neutral lipid; and b) an aqueous phase comprising bupivacaine phosphate, wherein the aqueous phase is encapsulated within the multivesicular liposome.
