There is an important document which you and your loved one should complete in the presence of your physician if you want to avoid CPR (cardio-pulmonary resuscitation) or other life support when an ambulance (911) is called. It is the Do-Not-Resuscitate order. Some people with serious and irreversible conditions do not want an emergency medical team to give them CPR if their heart stops or they stop breathing. If the emergency medical team sees the proper bracelet or document upon arrival, you can expect to receive all necessary comfort care—but not life support.
