A Comparison of Ropivacaine and Bupivacaine for Cervical.
Like bupivacaine, ropivacaine is a long-acting local anesthetic agent. The onset and duration of action of ropivacaine are relatively identical to that of bupivacaine. Ropivacaine is also a member of the amino amide class of local anesthetics and a part of the pipecoloxylidide group. The difference between ropivacaine and bupivacaine is a variation in the akyl group of the two molecules. This.
Bupivacaine is a widely used local anesthetic agent. Bupivacaine is often administered by spinal injection prior to total hip arthroplasty. It is also commonly injected into surgical wound sites to reduce pain for up to 20 hours after surgery. In comparison to other local anesthetics it has a long duration of action. It is also the most toxic.
Background: Ropivacaine, a newer local anesthetic, is gaining increased acceptance due to its improved safety profile over bupivacaine and lignocaine. Analgesic adjuvants have proved to be valuable in improving the quality of anesthesia and duration of analgesia. Aim: To compare the efficacy of clonidine and fentanyl as adjuvants to ropivacaine in spinal anesthesia in lower abdominal surgeries.

Hypersensitivity reactions occur mainly with the ester-type local anaesthetics, such as tetracaine; reactions are less frequent with the amide types, such as articaine, bupivacaine, levobupivacaine, lidocaine, mepivacaine, prilocaine, and ropivacaine. Cross-sensitivity reactions may be avoided by using the alternative chemical type.
