The perioperative period comprises the moments before, during and after surgery. Based on the concern about the care for and safety of patients in this process, this study sought to assess the quality of surgical procedures in a hospital environment. It is an epidemiological, descriptive and retrospective research conducted at Santa Terezinha University Hospital [Hospital Universitário Santa Terezinha], in the municipality of Joaçaba, Santa Catarina (SC). The investigation aimed to identify the reasons for surgical cancellation, as well as immediate postoperative complications that occur in the postanesthesia care unit. A total of 456 records from surgery cancellation daily maps and 361 medical records of patients in postoperative care were analyzed. Results show that the main cause for cancellation of surgeries was transfer or unscheduled procedure (23.1%), but 27% of the unscheduled surgeries did not have the reason for cancellation reported. Adult (over 80%) and female individuals were the majority for both cancelled surgeries and postoperative complications. The most frequent postoperative complication was hypotension. Among performed surgeries, thoracic ones (41.8%) were most prevalent, while abdominal/pelvic (49%) surgeries were the most cancelled.  It is concluded that a big portion of the cancelled surgical procedures could have been prevented, since only 6.8% of them were related to clinical conditions.

This article is a retrospective ecological study, of descriptive analysis, that evaluates the spatial distribution of Aedes aegypti breeding sites and its correlation with environmental and climate characteristics of the western region of Santa Catarina. Its objective was to analyze the spatial distribution of breeding sites by mapping and correlating with climatic and environmental variables in the period between 2009 and 2017, by mapping breeding sites with Ae. Aegypti larvae by the use of Google Maps, correlating the temperature and precipitation averages. It was found a positive relation between temperature increase and the number of outbreaks, and it also established that the high rainfall averages in this region may influence the spread of the mosquito, but this information could not be confirmed in the present study. It was concluded that the temperature was a determining factor in the dissemination of the vector, being higher than the precipitation variable in the analyzed region.

A Residência Multiprofissional em Saúde da Família da UFPR possibilita o trabalho interdisciplinar e está sendo realizada na Unidade de Saúde (U.S.) Jardim das Graças, no município de Colombo. Uma das finalidades é promover atenção integral à saúde da gestante e do feto. O trabalho ocorre durante a primeira consulta de pré-natal, realizada semanalmente para um grupo de três a quatro gestantes, e também por meio de oficina para as gestantes. A primeira consulta do pré-natal é realizada pela enfermeira e inclui atividades de educação em saúde. Em seguida, a cirurgiã-dentista residente realiza:instrução de higiene bucal, orientação sobre as doenças bucais mais prevalentes, as mudanças que ocorrem na cavidade bucal da gestante e a importância da saúde bucal para a saúde da gestante e do feto. Neste momento, a gestante também é encaminhada para atendimento odontológico, caso necessário. Já a oficina de gestantes é realizada mensalmente com atividades educativas da odontologia, enfermagem, nutrição, atenção farmacêutica e medicina. Por meio dessa experiência, verificou-se que a inserção da odontologia na equipe multiprofissional possibilitou a criação do vínculo com as gestantes, favorecendo o autocuidado, além de propiciar aos profissionais a troca de saberes, aspecto de suma importância para um efetivo trabalho multiprofissional.
