[Policy in no-resuscitation orders. Work Group of the Central Guidance Organ for Intercollegiate Testing CBO].
Discussions on the inappropriateness of cardiopulmonary resuscitation have led to installation of a working committee by the scientific council of the National Organization for Quality Assurance in Hospitals. The report of this committee contains recommendations on the process by which the decision to write a Do-Not-Resuscitate order can be reached. In the report some practical advice is given and the responsibilities of physicians are made clear. The patient's wish remains the central issue.
