Objective: to analyze the frequencies of complications in the Post-Anesthetic Care Unit (PACU) by surgical specialties and their association with pre-, intra- and immediate postoperative variables. Method: cross-sectional study with 98 patients. Perioperative data were used, collected through interviews, physical examination and electronic medical records; and descriptive, bivariate and logistic regression analyses. Results: hypothermia was more frequent in general and gynecological surgeries in women, being associated with general or spinal anesthesia and lithotomy positioning (p<0.05); nausea in general and gynecological surgeries (p=0.05), and vomiting in general (p=0.01); pain in general surgeries, associated with general anesthesia and intraoperative prescription of analgesics (p<0.05). General surgery increased the chances of pain in the PACU by 3.5 times (p=0.01). Conclusion: there was a higher frequency of hypothermia, pain and nausea/vomiting associated with gynecological and general specialties, female sex, lithotomy surgical position, intraoperative analgesic prescription and spinal and general anesthesia.
