Feedback:
Aminophylline can cause a decreased effectiveness of NMJ blockers, leading to reduced paralysis and early return of movement. If a patient has emergency surgery and has been taking aminophylline, the patient should be carefully monitored for early arousal and return of movement. The patient will not be awake during surgery using an NMJ blocker and will be intubated to ensure respirations. Aminophylline and other xanthine derivatives like the theophyllines will have the same effect.

Caution also should be used in the presence of any acute infection. As a result, checking the child's temperature is most important because this would be an indicator of potential infection. The nurse should ask the mother about history of febrile seizures or any condition that would make a fever dangerous.
