DNR Form
This standardized EMS DNR Order has been developed and approved by the Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure, in
consultation with the Cabinet for Human Resources. It is in compliance with KRS Chapter 311 as amended by Senate Bill
311 passed by the 1994 General Assembly, which directs the Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure to develop a standard
form to authorize EMS providers to honor advance directives to withhold or terminate care.
For covered persons in cardiac or respiratory arrest, resuscitative measures to be withheld include external chest
compressions, intubation, defibrillation, administration of cardiac medications and artificial respiration. The EMS DNR Order
does not affect the provision of other emergency medical care, including oxygen administration, suctioning, control of
bleeding, administration of analgesics and comfort care.
This EMS DNR Order applies only to resuscitation attempts by health care providers in the prehospital setting(i.e., certified
EMT-First Responders, Emergency Medical Technicians, and Paramedics) — in patients' homes, in a long-term care facility,
during transport to or from a health care facility, or in other locations outside acute care hospitals.
