Implication

Comparative study examines Ropivacaine and Bupivacaine for postoperative analgesia in laparoscopic cholecystectomy, suggesting Ropivacaine offers longer relief.

Key Points

The study aims to compare the analgesic efficacy and safety of Ropivacaine and Bupivacaine for postoperative pain management after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Sixty patients aged 18-65 undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy were enrolled.
Patients were divided into two groups: Group A received Bupivacaine; Group B received Ropivacaine.
Both groups received a ultrasound-guided subcostal TAP block before anesthesia reversal.
Visual analog scale (VAS) scores were recorded at various postoperative intervals to assess pain.
Ropivacaine group had a mean duration of analgesia of 16.51 hours, compared to 14.03 hours in the Bupivacaine group (p=0.025).
VAS scores were significantly lower in the Ropivacaine group from 30 minutes to 14 hours postoperatively.
Both groups had stable heart rates and blood pressures postoperatively, with no significant differences noted.
