Title: Clinical Comparison of Epidural Anesthesia with Ropivacaine Lidocaine and Bupivacaine
Abstract: Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of 0.25% ropivacaine-1.5%lidocaine in patients undergoing hysterectomy. Methods Forty patients ASA class Ⅰ-Ⅱ undergoing elective hysterectomy, were randomly allocated to receive 0.25% ropivacaine-1.5%lidocaine (Ro group n=20),0.1875% bupivacaine-1.5%lidocaine combined with epinephrine respectively for epidural anesthesia. Results There was no significant difference between the two groups in the onset time and the peak level of sensory block level(P0.05).As compared with Bu group, the duration time of sensory block on T10 was shorter significantly (P0.01), the onset of motor block ( Bromage scale was 1), the time to peak motor block ( Bromage scale was 3) was prolonged significantly (P0.01),the duration time of motor block was shorter(P0.05). Conclusions 0.25% ropivacaine-1.5%lidocaine is safe and effective for epidural anesthesia in patients undergoing hysterectomy.
