Description
Author: Aaron Lessen, M.D. Educational Pearls Traditionally the family is removed from the room during procedures and codes, but recent research shows that family presence may be beneficial. 50% patients want family present during a code. Family-related outcomes were improved with presence. There was no change in medical outcomes, and no increased incidence of medicolegal issues. References: Jabre et al.
