AbstractThe aim of the study was to evaluate the efficiency and safety of ropivacaine, in comparison with bupivacaine, in axillary brachial plexus block. 24 patients, undergoing upper limb surgery, was divided into 2 homogeneous groups and the local anaesthetics was administered: A (ropivacaine 0.75%, 25 ml; total dose 187.5 mg) and B (bupivacaine 0.5%, 25 ml; total dose 125 mg). The axillary plexus block was executed with the help of an electrostimulator. The results show that using ropivacaine the onset-time is lower and the duration of sensory and motor block is higher than using bupivacaine. In conclusion we can affirm that ropivacaine is a new step in local anaesthetic field.
