Abstract

Introducción: Aunque no haya ninguna evidencia científica que refute el beneficio que significa la presencia de la familia durante RCP, los prestadores de la salud persisten en oponerse a ella. Aunque los motivos para esta oposición no han sido dados a conocer, las series televisivas de temas médicos pueden jugar un rol en perpetuarla. Por lo tanto, analizando los modos en que aparece representada la presencia familiar durante las RCP en estos programas, podemos entender mejor los factores que influyen en las actitudes de los profesionales de la salud en este tema, y tal vez utilizar la televisión para modificarlos, de acuerdo con la evidencia científica y las directivas vigentes. Objetivo y metodología del estudio: examinar la manera en que se muestra la presencia familiar durante una resucitación en las nuevas series de dramas médicos en los horarios de gran audiencia, y comparar estas representaciones con una serie televisiva anterior, que también fue exhibida en horario central. Para ello se procedió al visionado y análisis del siguiente material: (a) todos los episodios de la primera temporada de House M.D., (b) Todos los episodios de la primera temporada de Grey’s Anatomy, (c) 16 episodios deMedic. Resultados: En Grey’s Anatomy, la familia está presente en solo una de 12 RCPs. En House M.D., la familia está presente en seis de 14 RCPs. En Medic, la familia estaba presente en el único caso de RCP representado. Conclusión: en la actualidad, las series médicas de mayor audiencia reflejan y probablemente ejercen influencia sobre las actitudes hacia la PFDR (presencia familiar durante resucitación) tanto de la comunidad médica como la del lego. Sin embargo, estas actitudes no se correlacionan con la literatura existente y los lineamentos norteamericanos y europeos. Por lo tanto, los guionistas, legos y profesionales de la salud deberían corregir cualquier opinión no fundamentada que se oponga al a la PFDR y señalar solo aquellos que se basan en evidencia científica.
