Sciatic nerve blockade in infant, adolescent, and adult rats: a comparison of ropivacaine with bupivacaine.

BackgroundRopivacaine is a newly introduced local anesthetic. anesthetic. No data are available regarding its safety, efficacy, or sensory-selectivity in children. The sciatic block duration and systemic toxicity of bupivacaine and ropivacaine were compared compared among infant, adolescent, and adu
