Objective: To describe the results of the investigation of urinary retention in patients in post-anesthesia recovery using ultrasonography. Method: This is a descriptive observational study in which the bladder content of patients in the post-anesthesia recovery room was estimated using ultrasonography to detect urinary retention. Twenty adult and aged patients with one hour of stay in the post-anesthesia recovery room of a large university hospital in Northeast Brazil were included between June and October 2022. Results: The urinary volume measured through this imaging exam had a mean of 588.3±327.6 mL, ranging from 80 to 1,275.4 mL. Urinary retention was identified in 45% of cases in this series, although only the complaint of pain associated with the need to urinate was a statistically significant indicative symptom of retention. There was no statistically significant difference between genders, and it was not possible to observe the influence of opioid use on urinary retention. Conclusion: Perioperative nurses should seek training for advanced techniques, including the use of ultrasonography, to assist in their practice.
