Hi, it’s Patrik Hutzel from intensivecarehotline.com with another quick tip for families in intensive care.

So I had a question from one of our readers and the question was, can someone with a DNR have a breathing tube? What a great question, and it’s highly relevant for families in intensive care.

So let’s just quickly clarify some terminology what DNR stands for DNR stands for Do Not Resuscitate or the synonym for that is NFR, Not For Resuscitation.

So what does that mean in general? So the short version to your answer is, yes, somebody with a DNR can have a breathing tube. Now DNR, again stands for Do Not Resuscitate and if somebody is not for resuscitation, it usually refers to CPR or cardiopulmonary resuscitation. And it basically means that if somebody’s heart stops, that nobody would commence the cardiac compressions or the chest compressions to revive the heart, but it wouldn’t necessarily exclude the breathing tube, you can actually document that in an advanced care plan.

So it all comes down to somebody’s advanced care plan and we highly recommend that anybody has an advanced care plan that if they ever, God forbid, go to intensive care or ICU, that the treating team knows what they want.
