Abstract :

The practice of allowing family to be present during resuscitation has been debated in emergency departments since the early 1980�¢����s, with evidence that the practice and implementation of family presence during resuscitation (FPDR) is inconsistent despite formal endorsement. This study aimed to develop an education package for emergency nurses, paramedics and medical personnel in order to develop competence in the implementation of FPDR. The aim of this interactive workshop will be to teach participants on how to implement the ER-DRIP (emergency personnel, reassurance, diagnosis, regular up-dates, interventions and prognosis), education package into clinical practice. Working through the education package participants will identify resuscitation team roles and responsibilities, identify the barriers, benefits and enablers of family presence during resuscitation using videos to assist learning. The three scenarios have been developed to assist with participant discussion and understanding of the implementation of FPDR.
