Minimum duration 15 mg iso bupiv with epi

Oral board type case: Knee removal of antibiotic spacer, placement of new implant. Obese, COPD/asthma, MH susceptible, on Coumadin (held) INR 1.2. Prefer to do spinal MAC, AWARE I COULD do CSE but seems like a pain in her and INR 1.2. So... a big boy dose of iso bupiv 12-15 mg with epi and narcotic should be VERY likely to last 4 hours, yes? (Haven’t used tetracaine in 20 years)
