Comparative Study of Epidural Levobupivacaine 0.5% and Ropivacaine 0.75% on Lower Limb Orthopaedic Surgeries
Abstract: Background and Aims: The aim of the study was to compare the onset time and duration of epidural anaesthesia produced by levobupivacaine and ropivacaine for lower limb orthopaedic surgeries and to determine postoperative analgesia. Methods: 90 patients of ASA grade I and II planned for elective lower limb orthopedic surgeries were divided into two groups randomly. Group I (n=45): received 15ml 0.5% levobupivacaine; Group II (n=45): received 15ml 0.75% epidurally. Onset time and regression of motor and sensory block and postoperative analgesia were evaluated. Results: onset of sensory block with levobupivacaine was 18.51?2.77 minutes and with ropivacaine was 16.04?2.31 minutes (p
