Answer:
This is a challenging scenario for paramedics to be in. As per the BLS Standards, the Do Not Resuscitate standard is to be followed only when a valid MOHLTC DNR Confirmation is presented to the paramedics. In these situations, paramedics will start resuscitation and attempt to contact a base hospital physician for further direction. A working group at the provincial level has recently been formed to explore other potential DNR methods that may be utilized in the prehospital setting.
