Clinical Characteristics of Spinal Levobupivacaine: Hyperbaric Compared with Isobaric Solution
Table 4
Quality of surgical anesthesia graded by patients at incision time, at 1 hour and 2 hours after injection of local anesthetic, and at skin suture time. The intervals between skin incision and suture time in isobaric and hyperbaric groups were [min–max] 51–135 minutes and 45–213 minutes, respectively. Values are number of patients.
