The document outlines guidelines from the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) on 'Do Not Attempt Resuscitation' (DNAR). It defines DNAR as relating only to cardiopulmonary resuscitation and not to other treatments. The guidelines state that DNAR may be appropriate for patients with progressive, debilitating, or terminal illnesses where CPR would be non-beneficial or prolong suffering. Treating physicians should discuss DNAR with patients or surrogates and ensure informed consent is obtained. The final decision regarding DNAR rests with the treating physician.
