Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study evaluates the usefulness of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) for perioperative fluid evaluation and prediction of postoperative complications in oncological patients undergoing colorectal surgery. Bioelectrical impedance analysis is used to assess body fluid status and body composition before and after surgery. The study aims to determine whether perioperative BIA measurements may contribute to improved assessment of fluid balance and early identification of patients at increased risk of postoperative complications. The study is conducted at the Institute of Oncology Ljubljana in patients undergoing colorectal surgery for oncological indications.

- Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis
- description
- Oncological patients undergoing colorectal surgery undergo perioperative bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) measurements to assess body fluid status and body composition. BIA results are evaluated in relation to postoperative complications and perioperative clinical outcomes.
