The concentration of bupivacaine in cardiac tissue (a) and plasma (b). The concentration of bupivacaine in cardiac tissue in LiEL, LiE, and LiL groups were 1722 (1307, 2132) ng/g, 5115 (1811, 28,002) ng/g, 24,389 (1683, 36,474) ng/g, respectively. Significant differences were demonstrated in three groups (P = 0.002; LiEL vs. LiE, P = 0.001; LiEL vs. LiL, P = 0.007). The plasma bupivacaine concentration in LiEL, LiE, and LiL groups were (1278 ± 619) ng/mL, (6560 ± 6818) ng/mL, and 8079 ± 9614) ng/mL, respectively. They displayed differences in three groups (P = 0.011; LiEL vs. LiL, P = 0.024; LiEL vs. LiE, P = 0.013). *P < 0.05. Data were means and SD or medians and interquartile
