Family presence during resuscitation (FPDR): Development of an education training package
Joanne Porter, Nareeda Miller, Anita Giannis and Nicole Coombs
Federation University, Australia
Aim: The aim of this paper is to report and showcase the development of an education training package using video scenarios
utilizing the acronym ER-DRIP to teach clinicians on how to implement family presence during resuscitation (FPDR).
Background: 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 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.
Method: The acronym ER-DRIP (emergency personnel, reassurance, diagnosis, regular up-dates, interventions and prognosis)
was developed following a state wide survey, a period of resuscitation observation and interviews with emergency personnel
in Victoria. An education training package was developed, which provides students with a series of videos together with
discussion notes which aims to develop the skills necessary to successfully implement FPDR for both pediatric and adult
patients. The three scenarios include a pediatric respiratory arrest, a myocardial infarction and a stroke victim.
Results: A total of three scenarios were written and filmed with the use of simulation trained live actors, emergency personnel
and paramedics aiming to mimic resuscitation events.
Conclusion: FPDR, although widely endorsed is practiced inconsistently. Additional training and education around the
implementation and practice of FPDR was identified as essential, the training package aims to build clinical confidence and
competence.
