Objective: To understand the perception of nursing technicians working in the post-anesthetic care unit (PACU) of a large philanthropic hospital
in Porto Alegre regarding hypothermia in the immediate postoperative period (IPO). Method: an exploratory, descriptive, field study with a qualitative
approach. The data collection was performed from April to May 2017, by means of a recorded interview, using a script composed of 10 questions.
Thematic analysis was used to treat the data. Results: Nineteen nursing technicians participated in the study. The data analysis resulted in four categories:
perception about the definition of hypothermia; complications of hypothermia for the patient in the IPO; actions to prevent and reverse hypothermia;
experiences related to situations of hypothermia. Conclusion: The interviewees demonstrated knowledge about nursing care for the prevention
and reversal of hypothermia in patients in the IPO in the PACU.
