Patients may request do-not-resuscitate (DNR) orders if they believe that their chances for a meaningful recovery after cardiopulmonary arrest are low. However, in some identifiable circumstances, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) has a higher chance of success and lower likelihood of neurologic impairment. The probability of survival from a cardiac arrest influences patients' wishes regarding resuscitation; thus, when CPR has a higher likelihood of success, patients' expressed preferences for treatment as contained within a DNR order may not accurately reflect their intended goals. Patients should be offered the option of consenting to CPR for &quot;higher-success&quot; situations, including a witnessed cardiopulmonary arrest in which the initial cardiac rhythm is ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation, cardiac arrest in the operating room, and cardiac arrest resulting from a readily identifiable iatrogenic cause. This new level of resuscitation could be called a &quot;limited aggressive therapy&quot; order.</style></abstract><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12513047</style></accession-num><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1539-3704 (Electronic)Journal ArticleReview</style></notes><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA.</style></auth-address></record></records></xml>
