Brief Summary  

Subarachnoid block has been a popular anesthesia technique for infra-umbilical and lower limb surgeries. Hyperbaric racemic bupivacaine is commonly used for subarachnoid due to its long duration of action and combined motor and sensory blockade. However, the use of hyperbaric racemic bupivacaine in subarachnoid block has some drawbacks. It has a high propensity to cause hypotension and bradycardia following intrathecal injection, and there is potential for catastrophic cardiac toxicity due to the high affinity of bupivacaine to cardiac myocytes. Levobupivacaine, an amide local anesthetic which is the isolated S-enantiomer of bupivacaine.

Racemic bupivacaine is an equimolar mixture of dextro and levobupivacaine. Levobupivacaine has a lower affinity for cardiac sodium channels and greater plasma protein binding affinity compared with the dextro isomer; thus, reducing the risk of cardio-toxicity. 

Levobupivacaine also results in earlier motor recovery compared with racemic bupivacaine. These advantages make levobupivacaine an attractive alternative to racemic bupivacaine for sub arachnoid block. However its clinical efficacy in subarachnoid block should be known first.
