Family presence during resuscitation and invasive procedures in pediatric critical care: a systematic review.

CONCLUSIONS: These studies support the suggestion that family presence during resuscitation and invasive procedures increases parents' satisfaction and coping. However, the generalizability of these findings is limited by small sample sizes and inconsistent evaluation of confounding variables. Further research is needed to determine the benefits of family presence and prevent barriers to true implementation. PMID: 25362671 [PubMed - in process]
