A Comparative Study of Bupivacaine 0.5%, Ropivacaine 0.5% and Levobupivacaine 0.5% in Interscalene Brachial Plexus Block for Upper Limb Surgeries in Adults
Abstract:BACKGROUNDThe interscalene approach to the brachial plexus is best suited to surgeries of the shoulder or upper arm surgeries. It provides safe, effective and low cost anaesthesia with excellent post-operative analgesia.Aim of the current study was to attempt to compare Bupivacaine 0.5%, Ropivacaine 0.5% and Levobupivacaine 0.5% in interscalene brachial plexus block with respect to Onset time and Duration of Sensory and Motor block.
