Podcast 887: Family Presence in Cardiac Resuscitation
Manage episode 396897972 series 1397179
Contributor: Aaron Lessen MD
Educational Pearls:
A 2013 study randomized families of those in cardiac arrest into two groups:
Actively offered patients’ families the opportunity to observe CPR
Follow standard practice regarding family presence (control group)
Of the 266 relatives that received offers to observe CPR, 211 (79%) accepted vs. 43% in the control group observed CPR
The study assessed a primary end-point of PTSD-related symptoms 90 days after the event
Secondary end-points included depression, anxiety, medicolegal claims, medical efforts at resuscitation, and the well-being of the healthcare team
The frequency of PTSD-related symptoms was significantly higher in the control group
Lower rates of anxiety and depression for the families who witnessed CPR
There were no effects on resuscitation efforts, patient survival, medicolegal claims, or stress on the healthcare team
If families choose to witness CPR, it’s beneficial to have someone with the family to explain the process
