Implication

This study demonstrates similar local anesthetic efficacy and pharmacokinetics for ropivacaine and bupivacaine in sheep, highlighting the sheep model's potential for research.

Key Points

Ropivacaine and bupivacaine produce comparable sensory and motor blockade after epidural anesthesia in sheep.
Peak serum concentrations occurred within 8 minutes, with no observed systemic toxicity after treatment.
The sheep model reflects accurate pharmacokinetics and efficacy similar to previous studies in humans and other animals.
The results suggest that the sheep model is a valuable option for studying local anesthetics and epidural techniques.
