A Comparison of Ropivacaine 0.5% and Bupivacaine 0.5% for Brachial Plexus Block

A double-blind study of axillary brachial plexus block by 0.75% ropivacaine or 2% mepivacaine

“…Patients with respiratory or cardiac disease, Ropivacaine and bupivacaine have similar onsets and diabetes or peripheral neuropathy and patients redurations of action for brachial plexus block at a conceiving chronic analgesic therapy were excluded from centration of 0.5% in animals [1] and humans [2][3][4]. Patients with respiratory or cardiac disease, Ropivacaine and bupivacaine have similar onsets and diabetes or peripheral neuropathy and patients redurations of action for brachial plexus block at a conceiving chronic analgesic therapy were excluded from centration of 0.5% in animals [1] and humans [2][3][4].…”

“…formed with 0.5% ropivacaine [2][3][4]. We accepted an Non-invasive arterial blood pressure and heart rate -error of 5%, a -error of 20% and an 80% power [11].…”

“…However, none of these three On the day after surgery, the recovery of neurological function was checked, and the acceptance of patients required general anaesthesia, as local skin infiltration performed by the surgeon (10 mL of lig-the anaesthetic technique was assessed on a twopoint scale: (i) good; if ever operated on again, I could nocaine 2%) and fentanyl intravenous administration similar to that provided by 2% mepivacaine, with the Ropivacaine is equivalent to bupivacaine at both mepivacaine 0.25% [12] and 0.5% for axillary and subclavian perivascular brachial plexus anaesthesia [2,3]. received ropivacaine and for two patients who received mepivacaine.…”

A comparison of 0.5% ropivacaine and 1% mepivacaine for sciatic nerve block in the popliteal fossa

“…We chose ropivacaine because its pharmacological profile is similar to mepivacaine and it has been reported to be safer than bupivacaine (2, 3). Various controlled clinical studies have demonstrated that equal concentrations of ropivacaine and bupivacaine have comparable anesthetic characteristics during brachial plexus block (4–6) or epidural anesthesia (7, 8). However, few reports are available on the use of ropivacaine for other peripheral nerve block techniques(9, 10).…”

Electrochemical Determination of Anesthetic Drug Ropivacaine in Pharmaceutical Formulations by Differential Pulse Cathodic Adsorptive Stripping Voltammetry

“…Anesthetics are categorized into two classes: general anesthetics, which cause a reversible loss of consciousness and local anesthetics, which cause a reversible loss of sensation for a limited region of the body while maintaining consciousness. It is one of the local anesthetic drugs, the pipecoloxylidides which were first synthesized in 1957 [4][5][6][7][8] . With the commonly used combined inter-scalene block/general anaesthesia approach to anaesthesia/analgesia for shoulder surgery, the relative role of nerve blockade for postoperative analgesia assumes greater importance over the requirement for surgical anaesthesia and so does the duration of effect of the block.…”
