Low vs. high concentration of levobupivacaine for post‐operative epidural analgesia: influence of mode of delivery

Abstract

Levobupivacaine in thoracic epidurals provides an equal quality of post-operative analgesia in low and high volume independent of the delivery mode, i.e. CEI or PCEA. This is in accordance with the assumption that the total dose of the local anaesthetic determines the quality of analgesia.
