These were allocated to groups B (bupivacaine), L (levobupivacaine), and R (ropivacaine). We observed blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, PWD, and QTc intervals from baseline value through Holter monitoring, pain assessment by visual analogue scale, and demand and total volume of LA consumed by patient-controlled analgesia devices.
