This study will be conducted to evaluate the effect of intravenous aminophylline on hemodynamics and recovery of patients receiving dexmedetomidine infusion during functional endoscopic sinus surgery.
Aminophylline is a nonselective adenosine receptor antagonist used for the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It has been used to antagonize the effects of anaesthetic and analgesic agents

Time to extubation
Extubation time, defined as the interval between the discontinuation of anesthetics to safe tracheal extubation.
Time frame: Two hours after discontinuation of anesthetics
Intraoperative heart rate
Heart rate will be recorded preoperatively (baseline), after loading dose of dexmedetomidine, after intubation, every 5 minutes during the study drug infusion, then every 15 minutes until end of surgery.
Time frame: Intraoperative period
Intraoperative mean arterial blood pressure
Mean arterial blood pressure will be recorded preoperatively (baseline), after loading dose of dexmedetomidine, after intubation, every 5 minutes during the study drug infusion, then every 15 minutes until end of surgery.
Time frame: Intraoperative period
Postoperative sedation score
Postoperative sedation will be evaluated using the Ramsay sedation score as: 1 = anxious, agitated, or restless 2= cooperative, oriented, and tranquil 3= responsive to commands 4= a sleep, but with brisk response to light, glabella tap, or loud auditory stimulus 5= a sleep, sluggish response to glabella tap, or auditory stimulus 6= a sleep, no response 6 is the highest sedation level Sedation score: will be measured at 15, 30, and 60 minutes after tracheal extubation.
Time frame: 60 minutes after tracheal extubation
Time to discharge from post anesthesia care unit
Time needed to achieve modified Aldrete Score ≥9 will be recorded.
Time frame: Two hours after tracheal extubation.
