A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Intrathecal 0.5% Hyperbaric Levobupivacaine and 0.75% Hyperbaric Ropivacaine for Elective Caesarean Section

Levobupivacaine provides a denser and more prolonged sensory and motor block suitable for procedures requiring extended anaesthesia and postoperative analgesia. Ropivacaine offers superior haemodynamic stability, quicker motor recovery, and more favourable immediate neonatal outcomes. Both agents are safe and effective for spinal anaesthesia in caesarean section, and the choice should be guided by clinical priorities.

Abstract

Levobupivacaine provides a denser and more prolonged sensory and motor block suitable for procedures requiring extended anaesthesia and postoperative analgesia. Ropivacaine offers superior haemodynamic stability, quicker motor recovery, and more favourable immediate neonatal outcomes. Both agents are safe and effective for spinal anaesthesia in caesarean section, and the choice should be guided by clinical priorities.
