Description

Solicitud de no hacer ningún intento de resucitar al paciente si el corazón deja de funcionar o si el paciente deja de respirar. Los Angeles California Do Not Resuscitate Request, also known as DNR, is a legal document designed to inform medical professionals of a patient's decision to decline resuscitation measures in the event of cardiac or respiratory arrest. This request is based on the individual's right to make decisions regarding their own medical care and can be an important part of end-of-life planning. In Los Angeles, there are several types of Do Not Resuscitate Requests available to cater to specific situations and preferences. These variations include: 1. Standard DNR: This is the most common type of Do Not Resuscitate Request. It means that if a patient's heart stops beating, or they stop breathing, medical professionals should not perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), intubation, defibrillation, or any other life-sustaining interventions. However, other medical treatments, such as pain management or comfort care, may still be provided. 2. Limited DNR: A Limited DNR request allows patients to specify certain limitations or preferences regarding resuscitation measures. For example, a patient may choose to exclude certain procedures, such as intubation, while still allowing other forms of treatment. This variation provides a more personalized approach to the DNR order. 3. Pediatric DNR: Pediatric Do Not Resuscitate Requests address the unique circumstances of children or minors. Parents or legal guardians of a child can request a DNR order on behalf of the child, outlining their preferences in situations requiring resuscitation. Such requests may involve specific discussions with healthcare providers to ensure appropriate and individualized decisions are made for the child's medical care. 5. Portable DNR: Also commonly referred to as "out-of-hospital" DNR, portable DNR orders are designed to ensure consistency in a patient's resuscitation preferences in various healthcare settings. This type of request typically involves a specific form or document that the patient carries with them, which can be presented to emergency medical services (EMS) or any healthcare provider in case of a medical emergency. It helps ensure that the patient's DNR status is respected, regardless of the medical facility they are admitted to. 6. Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POST): While not technically a type of DNR, the POST form is often used in conjunction with DNR requests. POST is a medical order that outlines a patient's preferences for life-sustaining treatment, including resuscitation, ventilation, and other interventions. It aims to ensure that healthcare providers follow the patient's stated wishes, even across different care settings. In Los Angeles, as in other parts of California, the specific guidelines, forms, and processes for requesting and documenting DNR orders may vary. It is important for individuals considering a Do Not Resuscitate Request to consult with their healthcare provider or legal counsel for accurate information and to understand the legal implications, as well as to ensure their preferences are properly documented and followed.
