Figure 2 The time to readiness for discharge and the time to first walk. (A) Kaplan–Meier curves demonstrated earlier readiness for discharge among patients in the 0.15% group and 0.2% group than in the 0.1% group (P=0.005 and P=0.001); (B) Kaplan–Meier curves demonstrated earlier walking (B) among patients in the 0.15% group and 0.2% group than in the 0.1% group (P=0.002 and P=0.004).
Abbreviations: 0.1% group, patients received infusion of 10 mL of 0.1% ropivacaine per hour, with a total dosage of 10 mg ropivacaine per hour; 0.15% group, patients received infusion of 6.7 mL of 0.15% ropivacaine per hour, with a total dosage of 10 mg ropivacaine per hour; 0.2% group, patients received infusion of 5 mL of 0.2% ropivacaine per hour, with a total dosage of 10 mg ropivacaine per hour.
