The term "do-not-resuscitate order" (DNR), also known as "do not attempt resuscitation" (DNAR), "do not attempt cardiopulmonary resuscitation" (DNACPR), "no code" (depending on the country), or "allow natural death," refers to a medical directive that states that cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) should not be administered if a person's heart stops beating.
These choices, as well as the pertinent documentation, can occasionally include choices for additional vital or life-sustaining medical measures. DNR orders have different legal standing and procedures depending on the country.
The order is typically given by a doctor based on a combination of professional judgment and patient input. Interviews with 26 DNR patients and 16 full code patients in Toronto between 2006 and 2009 indicate that the decision to adopt a do-not-resuscitate status was likely influenced by a combination of philosophical, relational, and personal considerations, including one's health and way of life.
In 19 DNR status conversations between patients and doctors in two US hospitals (San Francisco and Durham) between 2008 and 2009, it was discovered that patients "mentioned risks, benefits, and outcomes of CPR" and doctors "explored preferences for short- versus long-term use of life-sustaining therapy."
