A Change in Code: Status with Influence of Family Presence

This project identifies the effects of having family presence during a cardiac resuscitation and how it may affect the change in code status. We found many positive and negative experiences regarding the presence of family members during CPR. Family members who witnessed the procedure experienced less anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, and grief whereas those who had not witnessed the procedure have shown those symptoms due to the lack of reassurance.
