What this trial studies

This pilot study investigates the effects of nutritional supplements on vascular surgery patients suffering from Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI), a condition often associated with malnutrition. The research aims to evaluate the nutritional and functional status of these patients through objective lab assessments and hand grip strength tests. By providing perioperative nutritional supplements, the study seeks to enhance the patients' nutritional status, potentially leading to improved clinical outcomes following surgery. The study is part of the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery protocol, which emphasizes the importance of nutrition in surgical recovery.
