Abstract
Contrary to earlier studies, we did not find any difference in the intensity and duration of sensory or motor blocks between racemic bupivacaine and l-bupivacaine. Based on our findings in the parturient population studied, we conclude that l-bupivacaine does not offer any advantages over racemic bupivacaine when used for combined spinal-epidural for labor analgesia.
