Individuals with do-not-resuscitate (DNR) orders may undergo surgery for symptom relief or to treat reversible conditions. Resuscitative procedures, such as intubation, are frequently necessary to deliver anesthesia and sedation safely. Guidelines recommend that each patient’s DNR order be reevaluated preoperatively to ascertain the need for modification or temporary suspension.Available evidence suggests incomplete implementation of such guidance. We performed a retrospective analysis of orders and documentation describing perioperative management of patients’ DNR orders at 1 academic health system in the US.
