Abstract
Levobupivacaine is particularly suitable for use in anaesthetising a human patient prior to surgery that does not require hospitalisation for more than 12 hours after loss of motor block. Because of its beneficial motor block/sensory block characteristics, levobupivacaine can be used for `daycare` surgery.
