The term "Not To Be Resuscitated" or "NTBR" is largely used in hospitals in the setting of therapeutic limitations. However, interpretations of this term are sometimes very different. The objective of this article is to define the exact meaning of "NTBR", namely, no resuscitation only in case of cardiac arrest. The rules for therapeutic limitation are also defined.
