Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Comparison of the motor and sensory block by ropivacaine and bupivacaine in combination with lidocaine in interscalene block.
The effects of ropivacaine and bupivacaine in interscalene block have been studied, but we usually combine lidocaine with ropivacaine or bupivacaine to fasten the onset. However, the effects of these combinations are not studied. ⋯ In interscalene block combined with lidocaine, ropivacaine had slower onset of motor block and longer duration of both blocks than bupivacaine. Only bupivacaine showed the different duration of the blocks between two concentrations.
