Do-not-resuscitate–do-not-intubate (DNR/DNI) order
A legal document that states that resuscitation should not be attempted if a person experiences a cardiac or respiratory arrest and includes the specific clarification that the person should not be intubated, although in some hospitals a DNR order alone implies no intubation.
