Protocol summary

Summary
This study evaluates effects of 1 and 5 mg/kg Aminophylline injection on rapidity of brain awareness (awakening) and lowering recovery time based on EEG and prevalence of adverse effects of Aminophylline on 102 patients with following condition: Inclusion criteria:patients with ASA, class 1 & 2;patients between 15 to 70 years old;weight more than 40 kg.Exclusion criteria :patients with asthma( or similar diseases) in whom aminophylline is needed during surgery or during recovery; patients with liver failure or cardiac failure ( cor pulmonale);neurologic or psychologic diseases which can cause seizure;drugs which affect brain activity including tranquilizers and CNS stimulants;serum albumin less than 2gr/dl;aminophylline injection during surgery for any reason;labetalol or other similar drugs injection (affecting cardiovascular system) during surgery for any reason. This randomized trial take places on patients undergoing abdominal surgery with general anesthesia and tracheal intubation maintained by Isoflurane. At the end of surgery after discontinuing Isoflurane, all patients divided in three groups: Group 1: Aminophylline 1 mg/ kg Group 2: Aminophylline 5 mg/kg Group 3: Placebo/witness EEG is monitored based on BFI during recovery time in all groups. We compare rapidity of awareness from anesthesia , rapidity of EEG changes based on BFI, and possible side effects in all three groups.

Inclusion/Exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: patients undergoing elective Trunk surgery with general anesthesia ;patients with ASA, class 1 & 2;patients between 15 to 70 years old;weight more than 40 kg.Exclusion criteria :patients with asthma ( or similar diseases) in whom aminophylline is needed during surgery or during recovery; patients with liver failure or cardiac failure ( cor pulmonale);neurologic or psychologic diseases which can cause seizure;drugs which affect brain activity including tranquilizers and CNS stimulants (eg. Amphetamine);serum albumin less than 2gr/dl ( which lowers drug- plasma protein binding and increases drug effects);aminophylline injection during surgery for any reason;labetalol or other similar drugs injection (affecting cardiovascular system) during surgery for any reason.

Intervention groups

1

Description
In group 1, after cleaning of forehead with alcohol and adhesion of leads, EEG monitoring started based on BIS. All patients received midazolam 60 mic g/kg and fentanyl 2 mic g/ kg as pre-medication. Induction of anesthesia performed by thiopental 5mg/kg and muscle relaxation with atracurium 0.5 mg/ kg followed by tracheal intubation. Anesthesia maintained by Isoflurane in order to remains BIS between 40 to 60. In order to maintain 90-95% twitch inhibition, atracurium injected during surgery. At the end of surgery and discontinuation of Isoflurane , aminophylline 1 mg/ kg injected intravenously. EEG monitored based on BIS during recovery period. Rapidity of awakening from anesthesia , rapidity of increasing brain waves based on BSI and possible side effects will be recorded.
