Introduction, the immediate postoperative period is a crucial period where postoperative complications occur, which added to the degree of dependency are important indicators for nursing care management. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the degree of dependency and patient complications according to clinical and demographic characteristics of the patients in the Post Anesthesia Recovery Unit. Methodology: Quantitative, cross-sectional, descriptive and correlational study. A clinical-demographic and complication data collection form was used, in addition to the Perroca patient classification system to measure the degree of dependence on nursing care. Results: Most patients had grade III dependence (55.8%) on nursing care (semi-intensive care); the frequency of complications was 47.5%, the most frequent being moderate pain 30.6%, tachycardia 21.9% and nausea 19.7%. Likewise, pain, nausea, vomiting, hypotension and delayed awakening are the most frequent complications associated with the degree of dependence. Age and sex are characteristics associated with post-anesthetic complications. Educational level and occupation are characteristics associated with the degree of dependency. Conclusion: A statistically significant relationship was identified between the level of nursing care dependency and the incidence of complications in the postanesthesia recovery unit.
