Brief Summary   Levobupivacaine the pure S(-) enantiomer of racemic bupivacaine, is a new long acting local anaesthetic that has recently been introduced in the clinical routine. Because of its significantly decreased cardiovascular and central nervous system toxicity, levobupivacaine seems to be an attractive alternative to bupivacaine. It has become a popular practice to add opioids to local anaesthetic solutions to enhance and prolong intraoperative and postoperative analgesia. However lack of comparative studies and adequate information on the anaesthetic potency of levobupivacaine with an opioid prompted us to investigate the anaesthetic potency and hemodynamic effects of bupivacaine with buprenorphine compared with levobupivacaine with buprenorphine in patients undergoing upper limb surgeries in a prospective randomized double blinded study
