DNAR stands for "Do Not Attempt Resuscitation." It is a medical order indicating that healthcare providers should not perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) or other life-saving measures in the event of a cardiac or respiratory arrest. This decision is typically made in consultation with the patient, their family, and the medical team, considering the patient's overall health and wishes. DNAR orders are part of broader advance care planning and end-of-life discussions.

What is the contraindication for CPR?

According to Red Cross, all patients in cardiac arrest may receive resuscitation unless (1) the patient has a valid "Do Not Attempt Resucitation" (DNAR) order, (2) the patient has signs of irreversible death such as rigor mortis, decapitation, or dependent lividity and (3) if there is no physiological benefit that can be expected because the vital functions have deteriorated despite maximal therapy for such conditions as progressive septic or cardiogenic shock. A patient with a fractured rib may also be contraindicated for CPR to avoid puncturing of vital organs by the fractured rib.
