Objective To explore the clinical efficacy and safety of ropivacaine for combined spinal-epidural anesthesia(CSE).Methods 40 patients,who intended to undergo elective lower limb or perineum surgery,were randomly divided into two groups,each with 20 cases,ropivacaine were used in treatment group,while bupivacaine in control group the differences of feeling,motor block and recovery time,as well as their side effect in the two groups were compared.Results The maximum of spread time of anesthesia and the recovery time,and side effect in treatment group were similar to those in control group.The onset time of motor block and the peak time of motor block were longer in treatment group than that in control group,the maximum modified Bromage scale in treatment group was lower than that in control group(P
