The Alabama do not resuscitate form is a medical document that conveys a patient’s wish not to be resuscitated if they suffer cardiac or pulmonary arrest. In Alabama, this document is called a DNAR order (Do Not Attempt Resuscitation). The form is “portable,” meaning the patient’s wishes will be followed in any healthcare setting, even if they’re moved to another facility.

DNR forms must be signed by the patient and the attending physician.[1]
If the patient is unable to make their own decisions, an individual designated by an advance directive, medical power of attorney, or certification of surrogate would sign instead.
