Brief Summary:
Recent evidence suggests the efficacy of "custom pack" procedure on the operators reduction time and on the contamination risk due to the opening of many sterile packs. Nevertheless ,the studies available are sponsored by the industry and their results are very few. The aim of this study is to evaluate the correlation and reliability of spine surgery "custom pack" efficacy in adult patients obtained in the reduction of surgery time, relative risks, and materials wasted compared with the standard surgical field procedure practice .

Arms and Interventions
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: custom pack Other: custom pack
Preparation of the surgical field using a custom pack. The use of a custom pack provides much of the material provided for the preparation of the surgical field with a single opening of the package , reducing the risk of contamination of the material.
Active Comparator: standard care Other: standard care
The scrub nurse prepares the surgical field opening all the sterile packs it deems necessary for the surgery


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Soft Tissue Dissecting Time [ Time Frame: up to the first day post intervention ]
    minutes from the start of the dissection to complete bone cleaning


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Surgery Time [ Time Frame: up to the first day post intervention ]
    from the incision to the patient's sutures (minutes)

  2. Postoperative Complications [ Time Frame: up to 2 weeks ]
    number of early wound infection

  3. Numbers of Materials Wasted [ Time Frame: up to the first day post intervention ]
    amount of open sterile materials not used

  4. Blood Loss [ Time Frame: up to 2 weeks ]
    Levels of hemoglobin and hematocrit intraoperative (gas analysis before and after surgery) compared to hemoglobin and hematocrit before surgery and number of blood transfusions both intra- and postoperative.

  5. Pain (Score on the "Numeric Rating Scale") [ Time Frame: up to the first 3 days post intervention ]
    Pain Score on the "Numeric Rating Scale". The scale had values from 0 to 10 where zero represented no pain and 10 the worst possible pain.

  6. Length of Stay [ Time Frame: up to 2 weeks ]
    number of days spent in hospital
