1.	Critical Illness (Critically Ill) 02/01/1997 - "Although the outcome of extremely preterm of critically ill infants has significantly improved over the last decade, many are often left to die at birth by withholding resuscitation or neonatal intensive care. " 06/01/2009 - "The objective of this study is to determine the prevalence, content, and perceptions of CPR discussions between critically ill patients' surrogates and ICU physicians and their effect on resuscitation decisions. " 07/01/2008 - "Do-not-resuscitate orders in the critically ill patient--an observational study with special emphasis on withholding of renal replacement therapy." 03/01/2003 - "There are no scientifically or ethically sound reasons to exclude patients from participation in critical care research based on the presence of an advance directive or do-not-resuscitate order, as it would create a biased study sample that does not reflect the critically ill patient population, and it would treat a large group of potential research subjects differently from others without justification. " 01/01/2008 - "CONCLUSIONS: Do-not-resuscitate orders have an effect on the care plan of the critically ill adult patient. " Order ALL the reference details at left...
2.	Pain (Aches) 01/01/1997 - "If they developed severe pain that could not be relieved, 80% would instruct their physician write a "do not attempt resuscitation" order, 40%-50% would want to receive suicide information or a lethal prescription from their physician, and 34% would request a lethal injection from their physician. " 09/01/2005 - "Using SUPPORT II data, the study revealed that, among 362 seriously ill patients who were experiencing pain, 277 (77%) answered that they would want their family and physicians to make resuscitation decisions for them instead of their own wishes being followed if they were to lose decision-making capacity. " 07/01/2009 - "RESULTS: Six distinct themes emerged: (1) participants equated palliative care with end-of-life care; (2) participants disagreed about the feasibility and desirability of providing palliative care in the ED; (3) patients for whom a palliative approach has been established often visit the ED because family members are distressed by end-of-life symptoms; (4) lack of communication between outpatient and ED providers leads to undesirable outcomes (eg, resuscitation of patients with a do-not-resuscitate order); (5) conflict around withholding life-prolonging treatment is common (eg, between patient's family and written advance directives); and (6) training in pain management is inadequate. " 08/01/2007 - "The medical records of 217 patients (13% African American, 68% white, 9% Hispanic White) were reviewed for documentation of end-of-life care (advance directive discussions, pain, symptom-directed plan, and do-not-resuscitate orders). " 09/01/2005 - "Psychological variables (anxiety, quality of life, and depression), symptomatic variables (severity of pain and activities of daily living) and the existence of surrogates were not significantly associated with patients' preferences for having their family and physicians make resuscitation decisions for them.

5.	Brain Death (Brain Dead) 01/01/2006 - "Of 2640 patients admitted in ICU, one of the following five mutually exclusive categories was registered on the 548 patients who died: (i) complete treatment; (ii) complete treatment with non-resuscitation order (NRO); (iii) withholding of life-sustaining treatment; (iv) withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment; and (v) brain death. " 03/01/2005 - "Data were assessed relating to general case characteristics, causes of death (failed cardiopulmonary resuscitation, brain death, do-not-resuscitate orders, withholding or withdrawing life-sustaining treatment -- the last three modes were classified as the life support limitation group), length of stay in hospital, end-of-life plans and the participation of patients families and Ethics Committees. " 07/01/2000 - "Evolution of modes of death over the six years showed a reduction of cases with unsuccessful resuscitation, an increase in decisions of 'do not resuscitate' orders and withdrawal of life-support and no change in rates of brain death. " 07/01/2000 - "Analysis of modes of death revealed that 41.1% occurred following unsuccessful resuscitation, 38.8% were the result of withdrawal of life-support or a 'do not resuscitate' order and 21.6% resulted from brain death. " 07/01/1998 - "Brain-dead patients were older than those in whom a do-not-resuscitate order and withdrawal of therapy were made (median age 81 vs 7 and 4 months).
