Brief Summary: The best perioperative strategy for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in bariatric surgery remains unclear. A strategy is to monitor patients and administer preventive oxygen therapy during the first postoperative night. However it is unknown what if preventive oxygen therapy is necessary.

The goal of this trial is to compare the Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) in participants with or without preventive oxygen therapy.

Methods:

Participants are patients who underwent bariatric surgery without treated OSA and will be will be randomized into arm A or arm B:

Arm A: First postoperative night in the hospital with preventive oxygen therapy (standard care), Arm B: First postoperative night in hospital without preventive oxygen therapy (intervention).
Detailed Description: Rationale: The prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in the bariatric surgery population is high and mostly undiagnosed. The best perioperative strategy to manage sleep apnea in bariatric patients remains unclear. A recent study found that monitoring patients with pulsoximetry and giving them preventive oxygen therapy during the first postoperative night is safe and cost effective. In a population with patients with OSA but without obesity, no significant difference in apnea hypopnea index (AHI) was found between patients with and without oxygen therapy during the first postoperative night. The question was raised if preventive oxygen therapy during the first postoperative night after bariatric surgery is needed.

Objective: The primary objective of this study is to compare AHI in patients with potentially undiagnosed OSA, treated with or without preventive oxygen therapy, during the first night after bariatric surgery. The secondary objective of this study is to compare sleep architecture in these patients

Study design: This is a randomized controlled non-inferiority trial consisting of two arms; Arm A: First postoperative night in the hospital with preventive oxygen therapy (standard care), Arm B: First postoperative night in hospital without preventive oxygen therapy (intervention).

Study population: Patients scheduled for primary bariatric surgery without treated OSA Intervention: During the first postoperative night at the hospital patients in intervention arm B will not receive preventive oxygen therapy.

Main study parameters/endpoints: Primary endpoint is AHI and secondary endpoints are 30 days complications rate, nursing intervention rate and parameters for sleep architecture and sleep related breathing, score of the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and STOP BANG.
