Popis: Background: Use of levobupivacaine as pure S(-) enantiomer of bupivacaine is progressively increased due to lower cardiotoxicity and neurotoxicity and shorter motor block duration.. The aim was to compare the efficacy of lower dose local anesthetics use together with higher opioid dose to decrease side effects of drugs. We compared sensorial, motor block levels and side effects of equal doses of hyperbaric bupivacaine and levobupivacaine with intrathecal fentanyl addition in elective caesarean cases.
