Effect of Caffeine on Time to Anesthetic Emergence After Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy : Randomized-controlled Trial

Effect of Caffeine on Time to Anesthetic Emergence After Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy : Randomized-controlled Trial

A faster emergence from general anesthesia has a double medico-economic impact by reducing the risks of complications and optimizing the performance of surgical units. No drug has been retained for its ability to actively accelerate anesthetic emergence by antagonizing hypnotics. Thus, the aim of this study was to examine the effect of caffeine on the time to emerge from sevoflurane anesthesia for laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Inclusion Criteria:

• American society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) I and II patients, aged older than 18 years old and scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patient with an allergy to caffeine citrate and analgesics used during postoperative period, those with severe renal or hepatic failure, those who refused to participate in addition to patient with heart rhythm disorder, seizure disorder, hypertension, alcoholic or psychiatric illness
