Figure 2: Line diagram showing mean VAS scores in Group L and Group LF. Mean VAS score at various time intervals. VAS started increasing in Group L and was >3 after 4 h and patient demanded first dose of rescue analgesia. In Group LF, VAS was >3 after 6 h and first dose of rescue analgesia was given. Group LF required less number of doses of rescue analgesia as compared to Group L. P < 0.0001. Group L: Levobupivacaine, Group LF: Levobupivacaine + fentanyl. VAS: Visual Analog Scale
