==Cardiac Arrest: Ethical Issues==
==[[Sudden cardiac death prognosis|Prognosis]]==
[[Cardiopulmonary resuscitation]] and [[advanced cardiac life support]] are not always in a person's best interest. This is particularly true in the case of terminal illnesses when resuscitation will not alter the outcome of the disease. Properly performed CPR often fractures the [[rib]] cage, especially in older patients or those suffering from [[osteoporosis]]. [[Defibrillation]], especially repeated several times as called for by [[advanced cardiac life support|ACLS]] protocols, may also cause electrical burns.

Some people with a [[terminal illness]] choose to avoid such measures and die peacefully. People with views on the treatment they wish to receive in the event of a cardiac arrest should discuss these views with both their [[physician|doctor]] and with their family. A patient may ask their doctor to record a [[do not resuscitate]] (DNR) order in the medical record. Alternatively, in many jurisdictions, a person may formally state their wishes in an advance directive or [[advance health directive]].
