Comparative efficacy of hyperbaric bupivacaine <i>vs</i> hyperbaric ropivacaine in spinal anesthesia for cesarean section: A meta-analysis
This meta-analysis offers insights into the effectiveness and safety of hyperbaric bupivacaine <i>vs</i> ropivacaine for cesarean sections. Hyperbaric ropivacaine had a comparable safety profile and faster regression of sensory and motor blockade than hyperbaric bupivacaine, perhaps aiding early mobilization of parturient and facilitating mother-child bonding. Choosing ropivacaine may offer benefits beyond efficacy for cesarean section patients and short surgical procedures.
