Objetivo: conhecer os efeitos adversos e complicações vivenciadas pela equipe de saúde e conhecer os cuidados de enfermagem realizados durante a aplicação da hipotermia terapêutica. Metodologia: pesquisa com abordagem qualitativa, realizada em 2014, mediante entrevistas semiestruturadas com trabalhadores da saúde de Unidades de Terapia Intensiva de dois hospitais do extremo sul do Brasil, em que é aplicada a hipotermia terapêutica pós-parada cardiorrespiratória. Utilizouse a análise textual discursiva. Resultados: Dentre os efeitos adversos, foram destacados tremores, bradicardia, hipotensão e complicações como queimaduras de pele. Os cuidados de enfermagem direcionam-se aos cuidados com a pele e extremidades, uso do gelo, sedação e conforto. Conclusão: a hipotermia terapêutica é possível de ser aplicada, na realidade das instituições pesquisadas, de maneira segura, eficaz e com baixo custo, fazendo-se relevante, entretanto, a realização de qualificação das equipes, a fim de esclarecer dúvidas e favorecer a adesão e os cuidados necessários de serem prestados.Descritores: Hipotermia Induzida; Parada Cardíaca; Enfermagem.THERAPEUTIC HYPOTHERMIA : ADVERSE EFFECTS, COMPLICATIONS AND NURSING CARE.Summary: to know the adverse effects and complications experienced by the health team and cognize the nursing care performed during the application of therapeutic hypothermia.

The objective of this study was to demonstrate ethical aspects involved in the donation, collection and transplantation of organs and tissues through the experiences of workers in an intra-hospital committee for donation of organs and tissues for transplant. Exploratory qualitative research developed with eleven health workers. Data collection was performed at a university hospital in Pelotas, RS, Brazil, in the period of January-March 2010, through interviews. Data analysis resulted in the following categories: understanding of brain death diagnosis as an ethical issue; and, ethical issues experienced by workers in the relationship established with the family. It was concluded that such situations instigate workers to reflect on their attitudes, values, and their role as a health team member and protector of lives.
