Introduction

Cardiopulmonary arrest

When the heart stops pumping there is no delivery of blood to the lungs and no oxygenation.   

DNR 

(Also known as "Do Not Resuscitate", "No CPR", "No Code", etc.) is an order written in the patient's chart that forbids resuscitation in the event that the patient becomes pulseless and without a blood pressure.
