Table 3. Comparison of the mean time required for first rescue analgesia between Group L and Group R .
When the time interval between spinal anaesthesia and administration of rescue analgesia was compared between the two groups, the result was in favour of Group L with a statistically significant difference.
Group L: levobupivacaine group; Group R: ropivacaine group
| Parameter | Group L (n=33) | Group R (n=33) | P-value |
| Mean time to first rescue analgesia (in min) | 188±5.12 | 172±6.03 | 0.0001 |
