Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The plasma concentration of levobupivacaine was measured at 1, 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, 12.5, 15, 20, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120 and 150 minutes after paravertebral block. The peak plasma concentration and the time to peak plasma concentration for levobupivacaine were recorded directly from the measured values. The area under the plasma concentration time curve was calculated using the trapezoidal rule.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Pain:Numerical Rating Scale at rest and at cough after 6,12, 24, 48, and 72 hours postoperation.
