Description:
Do-Not-Resuscitate order instructs emergency medical technicians, first responders, and emergency health care facilities personnel to not attempt resuscitation but to only provide comfort care to a person for whom the order is issued, if that person suffers cardiac or respiratory arrest. Two types of DNR bracelets are available; a plastic bracelet with an official insert containing the preprinted logo of the State of Wisconsin or a metal bracelet from MedicAlert with the words "Wisconsin-Do-Not Resuscitate-EMS". Order forms for either bracelet can be obtained from the physician, or ordered from the Wisconsin Department of Health & Family Services/DPH/BLHSEMS.
