Throughout the administration of sevoflurane, patient safety is paramount. Anesthesiologists and medical teams closely monitor vital signs, including heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels, to ensure that the patient remains stable during the procedure. This careful monitoring helps prevent complications and ensures a successful surgical outcome.
Theobromine (3,7-dimethylxanthine) belongs to a class of compounds known as xanthines, which also includes caffeine and theophylline. Its name is derived from the cacao plant's scientific name, Theobroma cacao, which means food of the gods. Theobromine itself is a bitter alkaloid that contributes to the characteristic taste of chocolate. While theobromine does occur in small quantities in tea and coffee, it is most abundant in dark chocolate, with higher concentrations found in raw cacao.
