Arterial and venous pharmacokinetics of ropivacaine with and without epinephrine after thoracic paravertebral block.
Anesthesiology. 2005; (4): 704-11
Animal and volunteer studies indicate that ropivacaine is associated with less neurologic and cardiac toxicity than bupivacaine. Ropivacaine may offer advantages when used for thoracic paravertebral block. This study was designed to describe the pharmacokinetics of ropivacaine after thoracic paravertebral block.
