CPR does not resuscitate to begin with. At best it delays ischemia and thus extends the window for electrical defibrillation leading to full or near-full recovery. But the defibrillation does the work, and that is only for VF/VT arrest. If it's asystole or PEA then CPR is just performative, doesn't improve recovery.

So non-resuscitation just means non-VF/VT.
Thank you!

A fantastic exchange of information! Wondrous Walter was, of course, WONDROUS!
