  • Advanced Care Planning

  • As part of annual wellness, a key topic encouraged by Medicare and others has to do with “advanced care planning”. This refers to what should happen in case you are not able to make decisions about your health.

    The goal of this is simply to get the person to at least start thinking about what their wishes would be since most people in their daily life don’t really think about this topic.

    It can help to think of this by looking at a few scenarios: 1) If your heart were to stop or beat erratically, the normal response is to start chest compressions and possibly shock the heart if appropriate. (At the moment this is happening, we don’t really know if this is a long-term issue or not, we have to act right away Would you want the doctor to do the chest compressions and shock the heart. Also, quite often they need to put a tube in the airway (life support). 2) What if you have suffered a stroke and there is brain damage, at what stage of disability would you want your loved ones to decide that it is not a good idea to continue aggressive measures to extend life. 3) What if you have pneumonia and need to be placed on life support (it may be temporary), would you want your family members to agree that you be placed on a ventilator. Quite often people have trusts which typically state that in the event that there is brain death, they would not want life prolonged by artificial means. The phrase “brain death” is a very specific diagnosis in medicine and rarely used as it means the complete loss of all brain and brainstem activity. A person can have all the thinking activity of brain gone and still have brainstem function and that person is not considered brain dead.

    A better phrasing would be to say significant brain damage which would impact quality of life. You would then have to define what that quality of life means to you and discuss with whomever you designate to make medical decisions for you. For some people it may mean that if they cannot walk, or speak or eat, then they would not want “heroic measures” to extend their life.

  • DNR: Do Not Resuscitate:

  • This is very specific. It means that you would not want to be resuscitated at all. It does NOT mean to not resuscitate if chances of survival are low. It means that a person who is DNR would not have their heart restarted via chest compressions or shocking of the heart. It also refers to not placing a tube in a person’s airway which is considered life support.
