    Motor blocking minimum local anesthetic concentrations of bupivacaine, levobupivacaine, and ropivacaine in Labor
    (W B SAUNDERS CO-ELSEVIER INC, 2007) Lacassie, Hector J.; Habib, Ashraf S.; Lacassie, Hector P.; Columb, Malachy O.
    Background and objectives: Adequate comparison of blocking capabilities of local anesthetics should be done with some knowledge of their relative potencies. The objective of this clinical trial was to simultaneously determine the motor blocking minimum local anesthetic concentrations (MMLAC) and the relative potency ratios for racemic bupivacaine, levobupivacaine, and ropivacame during labor.
