Authors: Jennifer Lydia J, Asokan A, M.S I, et al. Cureus 18(7): e113255. doi:10.7759/cureus.113255 Background Newer-generation amide local anesthetic drugs are relatively less cardiotoxic and neurotoxic than bupivacaine and thus can be used as safer alternatives to reduce bupivacaine-related toxicity. In the present study, we hypothesized that isobaric 0.5% levobupivacaine would be more efficacious than […]
