Entendo que não há suporte emocional para o acompanhamento dos pais nesse momento tão nervoso. -

In my experience, Presence of parents almost always helped. Especially when the out come was bad. -

A presença dos pais é indispensável! É importante para o bebê sentir a presença, sentir-se seguro e amado. Acredito que os pais fortalecem os Filhos e os filhos são a força que os pais precisam -

I speak for myself. (Mother, premature 24 weeks) And I think that the presence of parents at that moment is not good and useful. The desire is to be present, but we have to know how to let the professionals do their job and trust. It is a delicate moment and their concern should be the baby's resuscitation. With the parents close, I think it would be distracting. My son's resuscitation at birth was done in the same room I was in, but I didn't see anything, everything was very fast. Apart from these delicate moments, I believe that the family must be very present in all procedures performed on the baby at Neo ( Portugal) -

Whats the point about the parents presence? I think it is a moment that requires technical and rational actions, not a emotional interference. [from Brazil] -

I think that the recommendation should be that parents should always have a part in the care of their child, including the possibility to be present during ressucitation if they want to. Until there's negative evidence telling not to. I've had my baby ressucitated in my presence and, although I felt miserable by the time, now I can tell that it gave me more confidence in the health team and a direct/clear "dose of reality" about her situation. But as a psychologist that helps parents, I can tell that it can be extremily traumatic to some people. And the point here should be how to identify these traumatized people and take care of them rather than don't allow than to be with their child. I'm from Brazil! -

Agree with the task force recommendations. Although challenging in certain settings, it’s important to have a team member designated to support and guide family members during the resuscitation, as well as resources to support them after. Thanks -

I believe that to the family should be offered the opportunity to follow all the procedures of Neonatal Resuscitation. However , they have to be previously warned that complications can happen, regardless of the conditions of the newborn, pregnancy and child-birth. -

This is a tough topic... Each situation, each family, each bedside team is different. However, if there is trust in the hospital and the healthcare team parents would mostly appreciate being in the room where CPR is performed. Thus, being flexible, excellent communication skills, anticipation and being prepared is critical. Interprofessional education is essential.
