Dnr

On a known DNR pt, never.

On a pt that we didn't have info on at the moment, several. As soon as we found out, we stopped efforts.

ditto above, since ur looking for numbers.

I would wonder how many MD's have placed a person on a modified code, knowing the effort was futile in the first place. Or for that matter on a full code when the situation was definably futile.

I think modified codes are always for the family's sake, not the doc's. Isn't the yay or nay part of the decision to be a full code up to the pt, not the doc?

Same here.

No CPR on a DNR. CPR stopped after for a DNR that was unknown at the time.

Once a pt was being transfered form ED to the floor, as we were moving the pt from the ED stretcher to the bed pt stopped breathing called a code, doc shows up yells stop he is a DNR. Did know that cause we weren't told when getting report from ED and hadn't had a chance to read the orders. But family says do something, tell the doc, who yells start CPR, then stop CPR he is a DNR.

Boy was that ever confusing!!

If the family says Do something, the DNR is no longer effective.

Yeap that is true, but doc talked to family ( they were just outside the room down the hall a couple of doors away) and they said OH no NO NO! NO CPR or putting a tube in HE didn't want that done!! It was a complete total mess.

Afterwards, the family explained that yes the pt was a DNR, they meant the " do something" was in reference to getting the pt from the stretcher to bed safely and NOT CPR. Thank goodness things finally got worked out.

:typing Order for a patient: Not for Resus (DNR) Not for Ventilation, Not for Intubation, Not for Haemofiltration...BUT FOR a shockable rhythm.

have had a patient whee as the fly member the md decided that pt was a dnr status, id not confer with pt or rest of family. pt was lucid but was terminal with another disorder

AN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE

If the family says Do something, the DNR is no longer effective.

So... if the client has a DNR on record, and the family tells you to do CPR, you do CPR? I haven't read this anywhere... help me out, can you give me more info on this?

that's right... the poa. however, i just called the national hospice and palliative care organization and was told differently. if the client has a dnr on file, the healthcare person it to follow the client's wishes (the dnr).

...i'm so confused...
