Brief summary

This study will assess the efficacy of OnQ pain catheters in pain reduction in the bariatric surgical population and seeks to identify if a quantifiable improved post-operative course occurs in patients receiving a catheter filled with local anesthetic versus that achieved by patients who receive a catheter filled with injectable saline.

Detailed description

This study will assess the efficacy of OnQ pain catheters in pain reduction in the bariatric surgical population. Approximately 12 to 15 weight reduction surgeries are performed at William Beaumont Army Medical Center each month. It is the current practice that each patient receiving the laparoscopic gastric sleeve or laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass receive an OnQ pain catheter during the surgery to reduce post-operative pain. There have been limited studies to quantify the efficacy of these devices. This study will seek to identify if a quantifiable improved post-operative course occurs in patients receiving a catheter filled with local anesthetic versus that achieved by patients who receive a catheter filled with injectable saline.
