DNR Guidelines for Medical IDs

A medical ID allows you to communicate your choice when you cannot speak for yourself. A Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) request is usually made by the patient or health care power of attorney and allows medical teams to respect the patient’s wishes. In the U.S., emergency medical personnel will not perform CPR or advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) if a valid written order is present. Identifying a standard DNR bracelet on a patient is the standard way for first responders to comply with these wishes.

Prevent Over-Treatment

It prevents the over-treatment of elderly or disabled patients, allowing them to refuse expensive ICU or CCU life-extending treatments.

Choose Comfort

It allows patients to choose to shorten their suffering unto a certain death, opting for a natural transition without extreme medical intervention.

Communicate Clearly

Wearing a DNR bracelet or necklace has become the standard, legally recognized way for people to instantly communicate their choice of a natural death.

How to Get a Do Not Resuscitate Order

Getting a legally recognized DNR requires a few important steps to ensure your wishes are honored:

Discuss your wishes: Talk openly with your closest loved ones about your end-of-life care so they understand your choice.

Consult your doctor: If you or a loved one is interested in a DNR, please discuss this with your physician to ensure you have the proper paperwork on file and accessible.

Find your state's form: Expand the menus on the right to find the official requirements and downloadable DNR documents for your specific state.
