Emergency Medical Services DO Not Resuscitate Order
Kentucky law forbids the EMS from recognizing any DNR request unless it's specifically spelled out on the “Kentucky Emergency Medical Services Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) Order”. Futhermore, the original form should be accessible by EMS when arriving on the scene. If you do not wish for EMS to resuscitate a patient, please download the Kentucky State DNR form and fill it out in it's entirety following the instructions attached. Without this form, we will have to do everything in our power to keep the patient alive.
Keep in mind that this form is only applicable if respiratory or cardiac arrest ensues.
It's very important that you must present EMS with the original, signed document(not a copy). We suggest you make several originals so all concerned parties will have an actionable form.
