In a prospective survey of fifty admissions to a young disabled unit, more than 75% of people with a severe disability expressed a wish to have cardiopulmonary resuscitation should they suddenly collapse. The opportunity to make an informed decision was positively received by all patients, and the information gained is of value in guiding resuscitation decisions.
