this is a very interesting and important topic. although there is no solid evidence I think that family-centered outcomes about perception of the resuscitation and about health care provider-centered outcomes sobre perception of the resuscitation and psychological stress could be relevant -

It was a very good initiative to study about the presence of parents in resuscitation. It seems that we medical professionals, especially neonatologists, have some difficulties in recognizing that parents have a fundamental role in the care of that patient who is ours for a few moments. Before the pandemic we always had companions in delivery rooms, now they are very low. In Brazil, where I live, we still have many difficulties in which parents, due to their low knowledge of what is happening with the child, may misinterpret some procedures, being essential the presence of someone from the team to clarify them. -

It's a double edge sword. It's always an excellent idea to allow family members to be present during newborn resuscitation. What happens when no one could be there for any reason? Resuscitation could come under suspicion that no one was there so we don't know how and what happened? When make a generalized policy statement one should be very careful and consider it's ramifications as well. -

Are you kidding? It’s hard enough for communication to the Staff during a resuscitation without worrying about what, when and how you say it!! Next the family will want to record and/or video tape the proceedings to show to the public, including their lawyers if things don’t turn out well....Most nurses over the years have told me they were glad when family was excluded from presence during even a procedure as ‘benign’ as starting an IV. After being on the ground, in the DR for over 40 years, DON’T DO IT! Not to mention Covid-19... -

Don’t do it——Staff communication can be recorded and/or videotaped, and I have heard of Neo and, on a separate occasion, the OB facing ridiculous malpractice charges....Family doesn’t understand what would be going on during resuscitation and what is the purpose? Does the Committee really think we need them in the DR/NICU to see how hard we try to save their baby?.... After over 40 years on the front lines in the DR/NICU doing these resuscitations, I cannot imagine conducting a code without at least one swear word.... Nurses have thanked me over the years for excluding family during procedures, such as IV starts... I recommend that committee not make a recommendation that will make it even more difficult for professionals to do our job to save the babies—- Ask the surgeons if they would make it a policy to let family into the OR...... -

I think we'd have to ask parents/partners in advance if they want to be there. Which won't always be possible. But, humans have individual reactions that are often related to their personal difficulties, beliefs and cultural patterns Even if studies with large populations were conducted, there would be many variables to be considered which might be a limiter to indicate the results to all. -

It's very important to think about this topic. It is a difficult decision for the health professional to allow the family at the time of neonatal resuscitation. If the father or mother wishes to be present at this difficult time, the team must be prepared for this situation and must train even more communication and host techniques Thank you
