The Colorado do not resuscitate form is completed by a physician and a patient who does not want medical professionals to attempt to revive them should their heart or breathing stop. Executing this form does not mean the patient won’t receive pain medications or comfort measures; it only applies to CPR and other resuscitation interventions.
