Abstract

Family presence during CPR is a debatable issue in a healthcare system due to dichotomous ethical perspective associated with it. Family is a primary caregiver and it is their right to stay during last moment of their loved ones death. However, family presence can be possibly stressful for both the family and healthcare team. In this regard, pilot research studies need to be initiated in order to formulate relevant policies and suggest appropriate action. Thus, healthcare system needs to take a lead to bring a positive paradigm shift in our country.

Keywords
