EMS Tip Thursday: DNR on the Fridge
In an emergency, seconds matter.
If you or a loved one has a Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order, make sure it is placed in an easily visible and accessible location—many EMS agencies recommend the refrigerator.
Why?
When EMS arrives during a medical emergency, crews must quickly determine the patient’s wishes. A properly completed and easily accessible DNR can help ensure those wishes are honored.
Helpful tips:
• Keep the DNR form current and signed
• Let family members and caregivers know where it is located
• Avoid placing it in drawers, filing cabinets, or hard-to-find locations
• Consider using medical alert stickers or notifications if available in your area
Having these conversations and plans in place ahead of time can help reduce confusion and stress during an emergency.
