Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Unbound Cefazolin Concentration in Skeletal Muscle

    First regimen and second regimen difference between unbound Cefazolin concentrations in the interstitial fluid of skeletal muscle

    Changes from baseline (pre-op) up to end of surgical procedure

  • Unbound Cefazolin in Adipose Tissue

    First regimen and second regimen difference between unbound Cefazolin concentrations in the interstitial fluid of adipose tissue

    Changes from baseline (pre-op) up to end of surgical procedure

Study Arms (2)

First Regimen Group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The first regimen will consist of a bolus dose of Cefazolin 30mg/kg up to a maximum of 2000mg IV administered prior to surgical incision. The same pre-operative dose of Cefazolin will be repeated every 3 hours until the completion of surgery. Two will paraspinal muscle microdialysis catheters and two subcutaneous microdialysis catheters will be inserted.

Drug: Bolus dose of CefazolinDevice: Paraspinal muscle microdialysis cathetersDevice: Subcutaneous microdialysis catheters

Second Regimen Group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The second regimen will consist of an initial bolus dose of 30 mg/kg up to maximum of 2000 mg. Following the initial bolus dose a continuous Cefazolin drip will start until the end of surgery. Cefazolin drip dose will be 10 mg/(kg\*h) up to maximum of 667 mg/h.Two microdialysis catheters will be inserted into a paraspinal muscle and two microdialysis catheters will be inserted subcutaneously.

Drug: Continuous Cefazolin dripDevice: Paraspinal muscle microdialysis cathetersDevice: Subcutaneous microdialysis catheters

Interventions

Mode of Cefazolin administration will be a intermittent bolus

Also known as: Standard mode of prophylactic cefazolin administration
First Regimen Group

Mode of Cefazolin administration will be a continuous drip

Also known as: Continuous infusion of prophylactic cefazolin
Second Regimen Group

Two dialysis probes will be inserted into a paraspinal muscle

Also known as: Paraspinal muscle dialysate sample
First Regimen GroupSecond Regimen Group

Two dialysis probes will be inserted into a paraspinal subcutaneous region

Also known as: Subcutaneous dialysate sample

Model Details: Simple randomization will be used with each patient has probability 0.5 to be assigned in Group I or Group II. Computer program will generate a uniform random variable between 0 to 1, with subject assigned to Group I if the value is less than 0.5 and assigned to Group II if the value is greater than 0.5.
