Subject: AMINOPHYLLINE IN REFRACTORY ASYSTOLE

l apologize for not making it a trauma aspect directly,but nevertheless,
it is not rare to have comorbidity of surgical and non-surgical
conditions in same patient at the same time.
 so l was interested in hearing from first hands experiences if possible
on use of aminophylline in asystole patients when adrenaline and
atropine aren't doing it.
 the thing  that makes me hesitate is the fact that aminophylline would
actually have a parasympathical effect on cardiovascular system  they
encourage usage due to its effect as a adenosine antagonist so l would
appreciate any advise and your experiences regards, ante
