My grandpa's resuscitation orders are now 'Do Not Resuscitate'. Obviously they're still going to be treating him, giving him his medicine, oxygen, etc. to keep him alive, but if his breathing stops or he goes into cardiac arrest, they are not going to try to revive him. With his age and frailty, it's too dangerous to try CPR to resuscitate him because it's more than likely that the chest compressions would end up breaking his ribs and killing him anyways.
