0.375% ropivacaine may prolong analgesia and reduce requirements versus 0.25% bupivacaine in post-caesarean TAP block; hypothesis-generating, larger RCTs needed.
Does 0.375% Ropivacaine improve postoperative analgesia duration compared to 0.25% Bupivacaine in patients undergoing Caesarean section?
0.375% Ropivacaine provides a longer duration of analgesia and reduces total analgesic requirement compared to 0.25% Bupivacaine when used in TAP blocks after Caesarean section.
Puchakala et al. (2022) studied this question.
