Welcome to another essential episode of Gas Gas Gas, where we dive deep into the pharmacology that could make or break your FRCA primary exam. Today we're exploring ropivacaine - the local anaesthetic you might not see every day, but absolutely need to understand when bupivacaine is in short supply or when examiners want to test your knowledge of enantiomeric purity and differential motor blockade.
