A comparison of 1% ropivacaine with a mixture of 0.75% bupivacaine and 2% lignocaine for peribulbar anaesthesia

In a single centre, randomised, double‐blind study, 54 patients underwent intraocular surgery under peribulbar anaesthesia with either ropivacaine 1% or a mixture of bupivacaine 0.75% and lignocaine 2%, both with hyaluronidase 7.5 iu.ml−1. There were no significant differences in volume of anaesthet...

Description
Summary:In a single centre, randomised, double‐blind study, 54 patients underwent intraocular surgery under peribulbar anaesthesia with either ropivacaine 1% or a mixture of bupivacaine 0.75% and lignocaine 2%, both with hyaluronidase 7.5 iu.ml−1. There were no significant differences in volume of anaesthetic required, time to onset of block, peri‐operative pain scores or frequency of adverse events between the ropivacaine group and the lignocaine and bupivacaine group.
