Advance Will Directives, Decision not to reanimateAbstract
Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) is a medical order in end of life / imminent death situation in which it is established that, in a clearly identified patient, resuscitation should not be implemented (or even tried) in case of cardiac / respiratory arrest occurring or impending. Decision should be supported by a deliberative process, respecting wishes and values of the person and minimizing her/his suffering. DNR applies exclusively to cardiorespiratory arrest situations and when prescribed should be articulated with an individual and integrate care plan, adjusted to that person, to her / his circumstance and to the moment in which it is established.
