  • Title: Severity of illness and resource allocation in DNR patients in ICU.
    Author: Tittle MB, Moody L, Becker MP.
    Journal: Nurs Econ; 1992; 10(3):210-6. PubMed ID: 1513394.
    Abstract:
    This study examined the differences in severity of illness and resource allocation between patients with do-not-resuscitate (DNR) orders and non-DNR patients in intensive care units. Severely ill intensive care patients with DNR orders continued receiving aggressive medical care following cardiac or respiratory arrest. The continued use of advanced therapies for DNR patients raises important questions about the use of costly intensive care resources.
