HB 920 OH
Provide for a do-not-intubate order separate from a DNR order
A state bill is a proposed law in a state legislature — separate from the U.S. Congress. Learn more →
Summary
This bill amends Ohio law to establish a separate do-not-intubate (DNI) order distinct from a do-not-resuscitate (DNR) order. The bill creates protocols, identification requirements, and procedures for do-not-intubate orders that are independent from do-not-resuscitate directives. A do-not-intubate order allows patients to specify they do not want mechanical ventilation or intubation while potentially allowing other medical interventions. The bill amends multiple sections of Ohio law governing advance directives, healthcare decision-making, and patient identification to accommodate the new DNI order type. The separate orders provide patients with more granular control over specific life support measures they do or do not want in medical emergencies.
