Fig 1 Upper extent of levels of analgesia in the individual patients after intrathecal administration of isobaric ropivacaine 5 mg ml−1 or bupivacaine 5 mg ml−1. Horizontal bars represent medians. No significant differences. British Journal of Anaesthesia , DOI: ( /bja/aef259) Copyright © 2002 British Journal of Anaesthesia Terms and Conditions

Fig 2 Regression of upper dermatomal level of sensory block with time (median and range) after intrathecal administration of isobaric ropivacaine 5 mg ml−1 or bupivacaine 5 mg ml−1. Median duration of sensory block at the T10 dermatome was significantly longer in the bupivacaine group (P<0.0001).

Fig 3 Motor block following intrathecal administration of isobaric ropivacaine 5 mg ml−1 or bupivacaine 5 mg ml−1. Numbers represent modified Bromage Scale. Median duration of complete motor block (modified Bromage Scale 3) significantly shorter in the ropivacaine group (P<0.001).
