Comparison of Levobupivacaine and Levobupivacaine With Fentanyl in Lower Limb Surgeries Under Spinal Anaesthesia
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Spinal Anaesthesia is the most commonly used technique for lower limb surgeries because of its unmatchable reliability, cost effectiveness, effective analgesia, muscle relaxation and prolonged postoperative analgesia. Ÿ Levobupivacaine, a pure S(−) enantiomer of bupivacaine is a long acting amide local anesthetic which produces differential neuraxial block, that is, early onset and prolonged duration of sensory block with shorter duration of motor block and lower cardiac toxicity.
