About this trial

Pneumoperitoneum during laparoscopic bariatric surgery induces carbon dioxide absorption and may lead to perioperative alterations in acid-base balance. Serum bicarbonate (HCO₃-) plays a central role in metabolic compensation; however, the clinical relevance of perioperative bicarbonate changes remains insufficiently defined.

This prospective observational study aims to evaluate the association between pneumoperitoneum duration and perioperative serum bicarbonate change (ΔHCO₃-), and to investigate whether ΔHCO₃- is associated with early discharge readiness at 48 hours (DR-48) following laparoscopic bariatric surgery. Patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass will be enrolled consecutively. No alteration of routine clinical care will occur.
