Objective: To describe the difficulties of the nursing team in relation to intensive patient care in the Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU). Method: An
exploratory, descriptive study was carried out through the application of a questionnaire, with 40 nursing professionals who work in the PACU of a public hospital
in Rio Grande do Sul. Results: Intensive care patients are frequently admitted to the unit and the team’s greatest difficulties are related to the delay in medical
and multiprofessional care, the presence of family members in emergency situations, and the supply and handling of equipment such as respirators and infusion
pumps. As for the actual care, the greatest difficulties are the performance of pressure injury prevention measures and the completion of the patient records.
Conclusion: It is important to emphasize the need to adapt the nursing staff in each shift according to the number and classification of the patients, as well as
the presence of the nurse and the intensive care physician 24 hours a day in order to provide quality care to the intensive care patient admitted to the PACU.
