Official title
Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Commonly Used Techniques to Prevent Slippage During Steep Trendelenburg's Position
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The purpose of this study is to compare two cushioning materials (a gel mattress and an egg-crate foam mattress) placed beneath patients undergoing gynecologic surgery to prevent patients from sliding toward the head of the bed during head-down positioning. Our hypothesis is that the two materials will be equally good at preventing slide on the table and that slide will be less than 5 cm (\<2 inches) on average.
