Determination of Perioperative Blood Loss: Accuracy or Approximation?

abstract：BACKGROUND:Bupivacaine and ropivacaine are the preferred long-acting local anesthetics for peripheral nerve blocks as they provide prolonged analgesia in the postoperative period. No studies have directly compared the analgesic duration of these commonly used local anesthetics in the setting of low-volume ultrasound-gu...
