Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial[Ropivacaine 0.2% versus bupivacaine 0.125% plus sufentanil for continuous peridural analgesia following extended abdominal operations].
An improved opioid-free analgesia concept using thoracic epidural anlgesia with a low concentrated local anaesthetic alone could be of practical interest for hospitals which are unable to guarantee continuous monitoring on the wards. ⋯ The present study shows that continuous epidural infusion of 0.2% ropivacaine alone provides comparable analgesia at rest, but less profound pain relief during mobilisation within the first 24 hours after major abdominal surgery than bupivacaine 0.125% with sufentanil.
