When to Call 911 for Patients with DNR Orders

76-year-old Rashida Sultana died while choking on food while a hospital inpatient. Nobody called 911. 

A British coroner found there was confusion and a lack of understanding among staff about whether an Emergency Medical Response Team (EMRT) should be called when a DNAR order is in place. The coroner  issued a Prevention of Future Deaths (PFD) report to Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust.
