    Abstract:
    A recent phenomenon in emergency and critical care settings is the presence of family members during resuscitation events. It remains controversial in most institutions, but evidence is increasing that the experience has positive benefits for family members. In this article, the origin of family presence is described and research evidence about the experience is presented. Three case studies are presented to illustrate typical events, including the potential role of the hospital chaplain. Recommendations for implementation are included.
