Brief Summary   This study was performed to compare the analgesic properties of ropivacaine and bupivacaine in different concentrations ropivacaine 0.5%, ropivacaine 0.25% and bupivacaine 0.25%. The drugs in three different concentrations were used  for local infiltration in inguinal hernia repair. Intra operatively heart rate, blood pressure were compared between the  three groups. Post operatively pain scores were assessed using VAS scores. The time for rescue analgesia was noted in each group. It was found tat Ropivacaine 0.5% was as potent as bupivacaine 0.25%. Pain scores were lesser in these two groups. Time for rescue analgesia was shorter in ropivacaine 0.25% group. Study ended with the first request of rescue analgesia.
