Accurate perioperative fluid assessment is important in patients undergoing colorectal surgery, as both fluid overload and inadequate fluid replacement may contribute to postoperative complications and delayed recovery.
Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a non-invasive diagnostic method that enables assessment of body composition and fluid status. In this study, BIA measurements are performed in oncological patients undergoing colorectal surgery in order to evaluate perioperative changes in body fluid compartments and to assess whether these measurements may help predict postoperative complications.
The study evaluates the relationship between perioperative BIA parameters and clinical outcomes after colorectal surgery. The aim is to assess whether BIA may be useful as an additional diagnostic method for perioperative fluid evaluation and early identification of patients at increased risk of complications.
The study is conducted at the Institute of Oncology Ljubljana. According to the latest annual report, patient enrollment has been completed.
