The Do Not Resuscitate Necklace, also known as the Do Not Resuscitate Token, is a durable and practical tool for people who want to make it clear that they do not want CPR in the event of an emergency. The necklace has a clear engraved text, so that the wishes of the wearer are quickly and clearly visible to medical professionals. A do-not-resuscitate badge is legally valid if the person applying for it is mentally competent.
Because the pendant of this necklace is engraved in Dutch on the front with Do Not Resuscitate and on the back in the English translation, non-Dutch-speaking care providers can also be made aware that you do not wish to be resuscitated. That is why this chain can also be useful abroad, for example during holidays.
Do Not Resuscitate Badge
The Do Not Resuscitate Token is a very useful and important product for people who are concerned about their health and well-being. The necklace is intended for those who have specific wishes regarding their medical treatment in the event of an emergency.
The chain is made of high quality stainless steel material and is sturdy and durable. It is adjustable in length, so that it fits every person. The necklace has a clearly legible engraved text "Do Not Resuscitate" on the front and on the back it says "Do Not Resuscitate" in English, namely "Do Not Resuscitate". This makes it possible to see at a glance what the wearer's wishes are, even by people who do not speak the Dutch language.
The Do Not Resuscitate necklace is a practical tool for people who want to make it clear that they do not want CPR in the event of a cardiac arrest or other emergency. This can be of great importance for people with a terminal illness or people who are concerned about the quality of their life after a possible resuscitation. The necklace is a way of conveying these wishes to medical professionals so that they can make the right decision in the event of an emergency.
Is this do not resuscitate necklace legal?
Yes, in the Netherlands a do-not-resuscitate necklace in combination with a paper advance directive is legally valid if the advance directive has been drawn up and signed in accordance with the legal requirements. There are no specific legal requirements for do-not-resuscitate chains in the Netherlands. It is not mandatory to include a name and date of birth on a do-not-resuscitate necklace.
It is important to realize that regardless of whether the information is on the necklace, the wearer always has a responsibility to make his or her wishes clear to the medical staff. This can be done, for example, by means of an advance directive, by carrying the do-not-resuscitate necklace or by means of open and direct communication with the medical staff. It is therefore recommended to wear the chain at all times and to ensure that medical personnel are aware of its presence.
It is important to note that, as with a paper advance directive, a do not resuscitate chain is only a clue and is not automatically binding. In certain cases, a doctor may decide to perform CPR despite an advance directive. This happens if the doctor believes this is necessary for the care and protection of the patient.
