Ropivacaine (1-propyl-2???,6???-pipecoloxylidide; Naropin®) is a long-acting local anesthetic given by injection to reduce the sensation of pain. It is often used in pregnancy|pregnant women during labor (childbirth)|labor, particularly for epidural anesthesia. It is also used peripherally and in nerve blocks. Ropivacaine was developed after bupivacaine was noted to be associated with cardiac arrest in 0.5-0.75% of cases, particularly in pregnant women. Ropivacaine, a pure S-enantiomer, was found to have less cardiotoxicity in animal models. http://www.euroanesthesia.org/education/rc_vienna/08rc2.HTM Local anesthetics Category:Local anesthetics Category: Obstetrics This article is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License.
