Comparison of the Effectiveness and Safety of Segmental Thoracic Spinal Anesthesia Using Isobaric Levobupivacaine 0.5% Versus Hyperbaric Levobupivacaine 0.5% in Performing Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial

Hyperbaric levobupivacaine provided faster block onset and offset, improved satisfaction, better hemodynamic stability, and quicker recovery. It is a safe and effective anesthetic choice for laparoscopic cholecystectomy, offering predictable block spread and fewer adverse effects compared to isobaric levobupivacaine.

Abstract

Hyperbaric levobupivacaine provided faster block onset and offset, improved satisfaction, better hemodynamic stability, and quicker recovery. It is a safe and effective anesthetic choice for laparoscopic cholecystectomy, offering predictable block spread and fewer adverse effects compared to isobaric levobupivacaine.
