Virginia’s Durable Do Not Resuscitate (DDNR) Order
“Durable Do Not Resuscitate Order” means a written physician’s order issued pursuant to §54.1-2987.1 to withhold cardiopulmonary resuscitation from a particular patient in the event of cardiac or respiratory arrest. For purposes of this program, cardiopulmonary resuscitation shall include cardiac compression, endotracheal intubation and other advanced airway management, artificial ventilation, defibrillation and related procedures.
Virginia’s Durable Do Not Resuscitate (DDNR) Order and its regulations have been developed to carry out the intent of applicable Virginia law that provides a person the opportunity to execute a DDNR Order that comports with his/her wishes.
