Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Comparison of epidural anaesthesia with ropivacaine 0.5% and bupivacaine 0.5% for caesarean section.
To compare ropivacaine 0.5% with bupivacaine 0.5% for epidural anaesthesia for Caesarean section. ⋯ Ropivacaine 0.5% and bupivacaine 0.5% provided effective epidural anaesthesia for Caesarean section although supplementation with i.v. opioid was commonly required.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Lumbar plexus and sciatic nerve block for knee arthroplasty: comparison of ropivacaine and bupivacaine.
Information about the onset time and duration of action of ropivacaine during a combined lumbar plexus and sciatic nerve block is not available. This study compares bupivacaine and ropivacaine to determine the optimal long-acting local anaesthetic for lumbar plexus and sciatic nerve block in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty. ⋯ We conclude that bupivacaine 0.5% and ropivacaine 0.5% have a similar onset of motor and sensory blockade when used for lumbar plexus and sciatic nerve block. Analgesic duration from bupivacaine 0.5% was prolonged by four hours compared with an equal volume of ropivacaine 0.5%.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Maintenance and recovery characteristics after sevoflurane or propofol during ambulatory surgery in children with epidural blockade.
To compare the maintenance and recovery characteristics after sevoflurane with those after propofol in children with epidural blockade. ⋯ Sevoflurane and propofol exhibit similar maintenance and recovery profiles when combined with epidural analgesia in children undergoing ambulatory surgery.
