The Illinois Department of Public Health
(IDPH) Uniform Do-Not-Resuscitate (DNR) Advance Directive allows you,
in consultation with your physician, to make an advance decision that
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) should not be attempted if your
heart and/or breathing stops. CPR refers to various medical procedures
used in an effort to restart a person's heart and/or breathing. In the
absence of a DNR Order, health care professionals will automatically
begin CPR when an individual's heartbeat and/or breathing stop.
All of the advance directive forms are Adobe Acrobat files and require Adobe Acrobat Reader to open them.
