Background: Code status discussions often link do-not-intubate (DNI) orders with do-not-resuscitate (DNR) orders, although cardiac arrest accounts for less than 2% of endotracheal intubations. DNR orders are more commonly implemented for older patients with more comorbid conditions regardless of the reason for hospitalization, and are associated with withholding treatments outside of the cardiac arrest setting. […]
