Pneumoperitoneum time and bicarbonate changes during laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This prospective observational study follows adults undergoing elective laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair with the TAPP technique to measure perioperative blood gas changes. Investigators will record the duration of carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum and collect blood gas values, including serum bicarbonate, before surgery and two hours after surgery. The primary outcome is the change in bicarbonate (ΔHCO3-) between the preoperative and two-hour postoperative measurements, with secondary outcomes of pH, pCO2, postoperative pain scores, and early complications within 24 hours. Analysis will test whether longer pneumoperitoneum duration is associated with greater shifts in acid-base parameters.
