Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the cost-effectiveness of using a cell saver for 2 to 3 level lumbar fusions. A secondary objective is to determine if there will be a decrease in the number of allogenic blood transfusions when a cell saver is used intraoperatively. Another secondary objective is to determine incidence of complications associated with cell saver use and transfusions.
