Core Tip	Hyperbaric bupivacaine had been the standard local anesthetic drug for spinal anesthesia in caesarean sections. Its drawbacks include high incidences of adverse events (hypotension, nausea) and delayed ambulation. Ropivacaine, a newer local anesthetic agent, offers potential advantages such as improved safety and shorter motor blockade duration. Recent marketing of heavy ropivacaine has reignited interest in this. This meta-analysis compares the hyperbaric preparation of ropivacaine and bupivacaine in the context of spinal anesthesia for cesarean sections. This analysis aims to shed light on the comparative benefits of these agents, paving the way for informed decision-making in obstetric anesthesia practices.
