CONCLUSION
As a result; patients should be analyzed carefully and CPR should be
performed to those who will benefit the most. CPR should be directed
regarding the experiences obtained from previous unsuccessful attempts.
In this case, DNAR term is occurring; for DNAR decision legal confidence
should be guaranteed to physicians. In our country, with current legal
status, DNAR cannot be performed. DNAR is trialed equal to ‘first degree
murder’. However this situation does not prohibit patients that will not
benefit from medical support. In situations where the patient is assumed
to die eventually, using total effort result both financial and time
loss. Additionally utilizing all the resources to patients that will
definitely not benefit may also result in reduced time and effort for
those who may actually benefit. DNAR should be handled by a committee
that should define the norms and legal aspects should be renewed.
Necessary steps should be taken immediately; otherwise, physicians will
continue to perform ineffective CPR with a huge moral burden and the
rate of unsuccessful CPR will increase.
