[|Human|] Stepfather 87 yrs old icu about 4 days, vented for some pnuemonia left lung.  2 days before this current admission was in for high bp like 280 over ???  Docs think caught pnuemo ia at stay for bp.  Took x3 to get off vent.  Must have o2 mask, being sedated w/ morphine.  Got my mom to sign DNR today, so docs don,t see any hope?  Life long diabetic w/o meds till fw months ago, cx x2, radiation burns internally finally grated with oxygen
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. DNR means Do Not Resuscitate. This means no CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation), no isotropic Chat Doctor.  It is usually practiced in terminally ill patients of old age. Your stepfather is having old age, uncontrolled diabetes, high blood pressure, pneumonia which needs ventilator support. All these suggest terminal stage disease. So sorry to say, but his chances of survival are very, very less. Hope I have solved your query. Wishing good health to your stepfather. Thanks.
