Definition of OOH-DNR

OOH-DNR

OOH-DNR stands for out-of-hospital do-not-resuscitate order. It is a medical order that instructs healthcare providers not to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) if a person's heart stops or they stop breathing outside of a hospital setting.

Example 1: An elderly person with a terminal illness may choose to have an OOH-DNR order in place so that they can pass away peacefully at home without undergoing any invasive medical procedures.

Example 2: A person with a chronic medical condition may have an OOH-DNR order in place to avoid unnecessary suffering and pain in case of a medical emergency.

These examples illustrate how an OOH-DNR order can be used to respect a person's wishes and provide them with a peaceful and dignified end-of-life experience. It is important to note that an OOH-DNR order should only be put in place after careful consideration and discussion with healthcare providers and loved ones.

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
