Family Presence During Trauma Resuscitation: Ready For Primetime?, Mae Pasquale, Michael Pasquale, Leslie Baga, Sherrine Eid, Jane Leske Apr 2014

Family Presence During Trauma Resuscitation: Ready For Primetime?, Mae Pasquale, Michael Pasquale, Leslie Baga, Sherrine Eid, Jane Leske

Michael D Pasquale MD, FACS, FCCM

BACKGROUND: The concept of family presence during trauma resuscitation (FPTR) remains controversial. Healthcare providers have expressed concern that resuscitation of severely injured trauma patients is inappropriate for family members as they may have psychologic distress, disrupt resuscitative efforts, or misinterpret provider actions, which can ultimately impact satisfaction with care. The minimal evidence that exists is descriptive or anecdotal.

METHODS: Using a previously developed FPTR protocol, a prospective, comparative study assessing 50 adult family members, who were present (n = 25) or not present (n = 25) with their severely injured adult family member during resuscitation, was conducted. Family member anxiety …
