Why the study?
Does 0.1% or 0.15% ropivacaine compared to 0.075% ropivacaine combined with butorphanol 50μg/ml improve analgesia and reduce side effects in parturients after cesarean section?

May favor 0.1-0.15% over 0.075% ropivacaine in PCEA to limit side effects; leaves open confirmation in randomized trials.
Does 0.1% or 0.15% ropivacaine compared to 0.075% ropivacaine combined with butorphanol 50μg/ml improve analgesia and reduce side effects in parturients after cesarean section?
0.1% or 0.15% ropivacaine combined with butorphanol 50μg/ml for PCEA provides effective analgesia with fewer side effects than 0.075% ropivacaine after cesarean section.
