THIS IS BECAUSE TIME IS THE ESSENCE WHEN TREATING A
CARDIAC ARREST VICTIM. ONCE THE HEART STOPS BEATING
AND BLOOD FLOW STOPS, A PERSON WILL LOSE
CONSCIOUSNESS WITHIN 15 SECONDS. WITHIN ANOTHER 30
TO 60 SECONDS, HE WILL STOP BREATHING, AND
IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE TO HIS BRAIN CELLS WILL FOLLOW
AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES OF OXYGEN DEPRIVATION.
RECEIVING BLOOD TO BRAIN
THE BRAIN TISSUE STARTS DYING 4-6 MINUTES WITHOUT OXYGENATED BLOOD.
THIS IS WHY KNOWING HOW TO DO CPR IS KEY.
CPR ONLY GENERATES 1/3 OF THE NORMAL BLOOD FLOW TO THE BRAIN.
THEREFORE, CPR ALONE MAY NOT BE ENOUGH TO SURVIVE CARDIAC ARREST.
CARDIAC ARREST TREATMENTS IS CERTAIN: NO AMOUNT OF DEFIBRILLATION
WILL IMPACT OUTCOMES IF THERE IS NO PERFUSION TO THE HEART AND BRAIN.
RE-ESTABLISHING BLOOD FLOW TO THE VITAL ORGANS IS THE SINGLE MOST
IMPORTANT FACTOR FOR SUCCESSFUL RESUSCITATION, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE
DURATION OF CARDIAC ARREST IS PROLONGED BEYOND FOUR MINUTES.
DNR
-DO NOT RESUSCITATE-
A DO-NOT-RESUSCITATE ORDER, OR DNR ORDER, IS A MEDICAL ORDER
WRITTEN BY A DOCTOR. IT INSTRUCTS HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS NOT TO
DO CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION (CPR) IF A PATIENT'S BREATHING
STOPS OR IF THE PATIENT'S HEART STOPS BEATING.

A DNR ORDER IS CREATED, OR SET UP, BEFORE AN EMERGENCY

OCCURS. A DNR ORDER ALLOWS YOU TO CHOOSE WHETHER OR NOT
YOU WANT CPR IN AN EMERGENCY. IT IS SPECIFIC ABOUT CPR. IT DOES
NOT HAVE INSTRUCTIONS FOR OTHER TREATMENTS, SUCH AS PAIN
MEDICINE, OTHER MEDICINES, OR NUTRITION.

THE DOCTOR WRITES THE ORDER ONLY AFTER TALKING ABOUT IT WITH
THE PATIENT (IF POSSIBLE), THE PROXY, OR THE PATIENT'S FAMILY.

IMPORTANT TO DO IT RIGHT AND TO KNOW
HOW TO PERFORM THIS PROCEDURE.
