Objective: To identify the knowledge of the nursing team involved in anesthetic recovery regarding the assessment of residual neuromuscular blockage (RNB) in surgical patients. Method: This is a quantitative, cross-sectional study conducted in a private hospital in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The sample comprised 50 professionals, 18 nurses and 32 nursing technicians, who answered a questionnaire validated by five judges. The collection was carried out from January to March 2022, using the REDCap platform. Descriptive and inferential analyses, central tendency and dispersion measures, Pearson’s correlation and Student’s t-test were performed, considering a significance level of 5%. The research was conducted in accordance with Resolution 466/2012. Results: The average number of correct answers was 43%, 44.4% among nurses and 42.2% among technicians. Six (12%) professionals had already took some training on neuromuscular blockade and 10 (20%) reported having treated patients with RNB. We observed no statistically significant differences between the average of correct answers of the questions and the length of training and professional performance, specialization, previous experience, or carrying out training. Conclusions: We identified deficits in the nursing team’s knowledge of the RNB and care during this procedure. The importance of continuing education actions is emphasized, with a view to training professionals to treat this complication and improve the nursing care provided during anesthetic recovery to guarantee patient safety.
