Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS: RESULTS: There were no significant differences in the mode of delivery, duration of labor, or neonatal outcome between the two groups. In the levobupivacaine group, the parturients required top-up boluses of local anesthetics more frequently (1.4 ± 1.6 vs. 0.9 ± 1.3, p< 0.0001), and the incidence of temporary maternal fever (25 % vs. 15%, p = 0.024) and the cost of local anesthetic were higher (292 ± 183 NTD vs. 146 ± 104 NTD, p< 0.0001). However, the amount of local anesthetic administered during labor was lower (79 ± 49 mg vs. 114 ± 81 mg, p< 0.0001) than for the ropivacaine group. CONCLUSIONS:
