In some situations, some people who are approaching the natural end of their lives or suffering from a life-limiting or life-threatening illness, may want to record their wish to not have cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) or other emergency medical procedures provided by first responders or other health care providers if their heart or lungs suddenly stop. In B.C., the No Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (No CPR) form provides you and your physician or nurse practitioner with a legal option to order that no CPR be provided by health care providers and first responders.
