Study Details

This single-center, interventional study will compare 30-day postoperative infection rates in pediatric tonsillectomy performed with either head-only draping or traditional full-body draping. Secondary analyses will evaluate differences in waste production, material and disposal costs, and provider attitudes between the two draping techniques. This study will randomize participants 1:1 to either the head-only draping cohort (intervention) or the full-body draping cohort (control).
