I don't think that doctors or anyone else are ever less likely to use heroic measures to save you, unless you have documentation that clearly and legally says you don't want the heroic measures if you're brain-dead, etc.
Sometimes hospitals do things in different order at the obvious end of a life to keep organs alive and transplantable while determining the status of the above-mentioned conditions, but other than that, their jobs are pretty straightforward.
