Many patients who are dying choose to die at home. Even people close to you know that you do not wish CPR to be tried, they may feel the need to call an ambulance if they become worried about you.
If the ambulance crew or health professionals are informed you have a DNACPR form at home, they must respect your wishes. They will make you as comfortable as possible and arrange further care. They will not try CPR.
