Context: The inclusion of families during cardiopulmonary resuscitation procedures is a clinical challenge. Families are often overlooked in resuscitation protocols aimed at interventions by an interprofessional team, which includes physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists, and orderlies. The existing scientific literature has relatively little to say about the perception of the interprofessional team as to the inclusion of families during resuscitation Objective: The goal of this integrative review is to explore existing papers on the perception of members of an interprofessional team with regard to the presence of family members during emergency room cardiopulmonary resuscitation procedures. Method: This integrative review of the literature was carried out using the five-step method of Whittemore & Knafl (2005) comprising problem identification, literature search, data evaluation, data analysis, and presentation of a summary of the data. The research strategy focused on three key concepts: interprofessional, family and resuscitation. Scientific papers were found through the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), PsycINFO, Medline, Web of Science, Cochrane and the Joanna Briggs Institute ( JBI). To be included Conclusion: The results of this integrative review offer guidelines for improving the practice of inclusion of families during cardiopulmonary resuscitation procedures. Particular attention should be paid to the initial and continuing training of health professionals. Furthermore, this article allows for an initial reflection among managers and decision makers to promote a collaborative culture as well as a patient-centred approach. Keywords: interprofessional team, resuscitation, emergency department, family, integrative review

O objetivo deste estudo consiste em verificar com base na literatura científica a qualidade do atendimento às vítimas de PCR a partir da utilização do protocolo de registro de Utstein. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, constituída por artigos coletados nas bases de dados: LILACS, BDENF, CINAHL e SciELO, utilizando-se método de busca avançada. Foram encontrados 572 artigos, dos quais 05 foram elegíveis. Observou-se que apesar das anotações de alguns protocolos serem concretas, outros apresentaram escarças ou ausência de informações referentes ao momento da PCR, realização da RCP e pós-PCR, o que dificulta a análise da assistência prestada naquele momento. As conclusões dos estudos refletiram na necessidade de padronização de anotações sobre PCR. Contudo, acredita-se que este estudo venha possibilitar a sociedade discussões sobre a importância da avaliação periódica do conhecimento dos profissionais de saúde sobre as diretrizes da RCP.

Background: Patients with a cardiac history are at future risk of cardiac events, including out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Targeting cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training to family members of cardiac patients has long been advocated, but is an area in need of contemporary research evidence. An environment yet to be investigated for targeted training is cardiac rehabilitation. Aim: To evaluate the feasibility of providing CPR training in a cardiac rehabilitation programme among patients, their family members and staff. Methods: A prospective before and after study design was used. CPR training was delivered using video self-instruction CPR training kits, facilitated by a cardiac nurse. Data was collected pre-training, post-training and at one month. Results: Cardiac patient participation rates in CPR classes were high ( n = 56, 72.7% of eligible patients) with a further 27 family members attending training. Patients were predominantly male (60.2%), family members were predominantly female (81.5%), both with a mean age of 65 years. Confidence to perform CPR and willingness to use skills significantly increased post-training (both p<0.001). Post training participants demonstrated a mean compression rate of 112 beats/min and a mean depth of 48 mm. Training reach was doubled as participants shared the video self-instruction kit with a further 87 people. Patients, family members and cardiac rehabilitation staff had positive feedback about the training. Conclusions: We demonstrated that cardiac rehabilitation is an effective and feasible environment to provide CPR training. Using video self-instruction CPR training kits enabled further training reach to the target population.

• Background Increasingly, patients’ families are remaining with them during cardiopulmonary resuscitation and invasive procedures, but this practice remains controversial and little is known about the practices of critical care and emergency nurses related to family presence. • Objective To identify the policies, preferences, and practices of critical care and emergency nurses for having patients’ families present during resuscitation and invasive procedures. • Methods A 30-item survey was mailed to a random sample of 1500 members of the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses and 1500 members of the Emergency Nurses Association. • Results Among the 984 respondents, 5% worked on units with written policies allowing family presence during both resuscitation and invasive procedures and 45% and 51%, respectively, worked on units that allowed it without written policies during resuscitation or during invasive procedures. Some respondents preferred written policies allowing family presence (37% for resuscitation, 35% for invasive procedures), whereas others preferred unwritten policies allowing it (39% for resuscitation, 41% for invasive procedures). Many respondents had taken family members to the bedside (36% for resuscitation, 44% for invasive procedure) or would do so in the future (21% for resuscitation, 18% for invasive procedures), and family members often asked to be present (31% for resuscitation, 61% for invasive procedures). • Conclusions Nearly all respondents have no written policies for family presence yet most have done (or would do) it, prefer it be allowed, and are confronted with requests from family members to be present. Written policies or guidelines for family presence during resuscitation and invasive procedures are recommended.
