Brief Summary: Exparel is a new local analgesic numbing medication that is intended to be longer acting than currently available local analgesics The purpose of this study is to determine whether use of Exparel to numb the nerves along the breastbone after open heart surgery will decrease pain and pain medication use after surgery
Detailed Description: This is a Phase 2 single-institution randomized double-blind parallel-group placebo-controlled trial of patients undergoing a median sternotomy for primary cardiopulmonary bypass grafting CABG surgery

78 subjects 39 per treatment arm will be randomized in a 11 ratio to receive a single-dose parasternal nerve block with either 266 mg Exparel or placebo 09 normal saline solution The nerve blocks will be performed under direct visualization at the end of surgery just prior to sternal closure
