Changes in the rate of do-not-attempt-resuscitation orders in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: a comparative study between 2019 and 2023
This study revealed a decrease in OHCA cases involving DNAR declarations during the COVID-19 pandemic, reflecting a positive shift toward respecting individual dignity owing to increased ACP. However, certain DNAR cases still undergo resuscitation and transport, highlighting the need for legal DNAR protocol implementation to reduce emergency-setting challenges.
