Popis: The aim of this study is to test whether the addition of a low-dose of antibiotic (vancomycin) to the wash solution (saline) of the cell-saver reduces the incidence of bacterial contamination of the autologous red blood cell (RBCs) concentrate recovered.Experimental, randomized, double-blind, parallel group study performed on 20 consecutive patients scheduled for posterior spinal fusion surgery. Intraoperative bleeding was processed through a cell-saver: HaemoLiteProcessed volume was 843±403ml and recovered volume 121±29ml, with haemoglobin concentration 10.4±5.0g/dlThe addition of vancomycin at a concentration of 10ug/ml
