Objectives: To identify complications and risks that patients can develop in the immediate postoperative period and to propose an instrument that
addresses the complications, risks and individualized nursing interventions. Methods: We conducted an integrative review of the literature between March
and October 2015 in PubMed databases (digital archive produced by the National Library of Medicine) and Virtual Health Library (Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde
- BVS). We used the following descriptors in our search: recovery room/sala de recuperação/sala recuperación; postoperative complications/complicações pós-operatórias/
complicaciones pós-operatórias; and nursing care/cuidados de enfermagem/atención de enfermeira. Results: The search strategy allowed the analysis of
15 articles. Complications, risks and interventions were identified and categorized as follows: hypothermia, hypoxemia and apnea; acute pulmonary edema,
tremors, nausea and vomiting; urinary retention and degree of dependence on care; cardiac dysrhythmias and general complications; complications in the
elderly and surgical positioning. Conclusion: The resulting complications, risks and interventions were the basis for the construction of our instrument.
