Read a random definition: extra jus

A quick definition of OOH-DNR:

OOH-DNR: An abbreviation for "out-of-hospital do-not-resuscitate order" which means that if someone is very sick or injured and their heart stops beating, medical professionals will not try to bring them back to life. This order is made before the person goes to the hospital and is written down so that everyone knows what to do in case of an emergency.

A more thorough explanation:

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.
