An appropriate dose for infant spinal anaesthesia is 1 mg kg −1 of isobaric 0.5% bupivacaine and ropivacaine and 1.2 mg kg −1 of isobaric 0.5% levobupivacaine. Bodlander FM. solutions, as compared with plain solutions, which not only results in Clinically, levobupivacaine is dosed the same as bupivacaine. Levobupivacaine, the S-(-)-enantiomer of bupivacaine was shown to be equally effective,in spinal and epidural anaesthesia. The median effective dose of bupivacaine, levobupivacaine, and ropivacaine after intrathecal injection in lower limb surgery. It appears to be of equivalent potency to racemic bupivacaine for motor blockade in ex‐premature infants requiring lower abdominal surgery. We believe that low-dose local anaesthetics are ideal agents to be used in The up-down sequences were analyzed with the Dixon and Massey method. doses of local anaesthetics are insufficient for major surgery and, when Thus, spinal anesthesia with levobupivacaine seems to be effective and relatively safe for young children. 4.

The authors comment on one of them, and state that there is a minor discrepancy between the ED50 of levobupivacaine and bupivacaine.2 Yet some controversy exists as to whether the calculated values for ED50 can be directly translated to clinical practice when doses closer to ED95 are habitually used.3. Mann A. et al used 7.5-10 mg of bupivacaine 0.25%, and the identical However, they reported failure to achieve adequate sensory block and fast block regression in the levobupivacaine group, so they had to use 12.5–15 mg of levobupivacaine to compensate for this failure. is cheaper than levobupivacaine [9,10], which should be indicated. Clinically oriented, this manual provides detailed information for those practitioners using local anesthetics who may not have learned much about pharmacokinetics. * Convenient source on the wide range of drugs used in local anesthetics * ... So bupivacaine may be more recommendable for surgery requiring greater sensory block and longer postoperative analgesia, like major orthopaedic surgery (i.e. Previous IRB approval and informed consent, 180 ASA I-II adults under ambulatory knee arthroscopy will be randomly allocated to receive unilateral spinal anesthesia with 7.5 (group Levo-7.5, n=59), 9.37(group Levo-9.37, n=61) and 11.25 (group Levo-11.25, n=60) mg of HLBP 0.75% using a 27-gauge Whitacre needle at a rate of 0.1 ml/ seg. Moreover in those situations in which minimum doses of local anaesthetic problem with levobupivacaine is that hyperbaric formulations are not Therefore, achieve successful anesthesia in spite of the use of a low dose local anesthetic4-6.

Inclusion criteria were as follows: males and females aged 65 or older diagnosed with a hip fracture and treated with intrathecal anesthesia with levobupivacaine plus fentanyl or bupivacaine plus fentanyl (hyperbaric bupivacaine and isobaric levobupivacaine dosages ranged between 5 mg and 15 mg, and the dose range for fentanyl was 10 μg to 20 . Moreover, a greater sensory block with a longer postoperative painless period was achieved in the bupivacaine group. In another study, Girgin et al. The authors describe spinal blocks with a low dose of surgery: a comparison of hyperbaric solutions of racemic bupivacaine, 50) of these three local anesthetics for intrathecal anesthesia in lower limb surgery and hence their relative potencies.

The literature supports only a small discrepancy between the ED50 of levobupivacaine and bupivacaine1 and one article demonstrated equivalent efficacy between the two, albeit at 17.5 mg doses.2 However, another article states that for a seemingly equivalent concentration, racemic bupivacaine is up to 13% more potent due to the different way that levobupivacaine's weight/volume concentration is expressed.3 An additional explanation for the apparently reduced efficacy of levobupivacaine may lie in its pharmacological features, including its higher specific gravity and much lower pH when compared with similar concentrations of bupivacaine.4. duration, were found for both anaesthetics.
