Why the study?
The study aimed to compare the effects of intrathecal levobupivacaine versus bupivacaine on hemodynamic parameters, sensory and motor block durations, and side effects in adults undergoing lower extremity vascular surgery.
Does intrathecal levobupivacaine compared to bupivacaine alter hemodynamic parameters or block durations in patients undergoing lower extremity vascular surgery?
RCT (n=30)
Randomized
No
Does intrathecal levobupivacaine compared to bupivacaine alter hemodynamic parameters or block durations in patients undergoing lower extremity vascular surgery?
Intrathecal levobupivacaine provides similar hemodynamic stability and sensory block to bupivacaine but offers faster motor block recovery in lower extremity vascular surgery.
Offers faster motor recovery without hemodynamic compromise in lower extremity vascular surgery; extends RCT data on intrathecal levobupivacaine versus bupivacaine.

Siyahkoç et al. (2019) conducted an RCT in Lower extremity vascular surgery (n=30). Levobupivacaine vs. Bupivacaine 17.5 mg (3.5 mL) isobaric 0.5% was evaluated on Hemodynamic parameters (Heart Rate, Mean Arterial Pressure, Cardiac Index) (p=>0.05).
