    Report summary

    Rasharn became distressed and breathless at a school disco on 23 October 2014, later deteriorated, suffered a cardiac arrest in an ambulance, and died in hospital that evening. The report identified potential ambiguity in his care plan about when breathlessness constituted an emergency and noted that a medical-information notice was not displayed at the time of his death.

    Lack of clarity in care-plan criteria for recognising emergencies

    Wider context from the report

    “1. Whilst staff at the school were clear that they should call an ambulance in the case of an emergency, and I heard evidence from the first aider that she would have called an ambulance immediately if she had thought Rasharn was having a seizure, Rasharn’s care plan was not wholly clear on this point. The plan described breathlessness as an emergency. I appreciate that this may have had its origin with Rasharn’s treating clinicians. However, his exercise tolerance was reducing all the time and so breathlessness was, to a degree, a feature of his condition. Extreme breathlessness coupled with low oxygen saturations would be a different matter, but this was not made clear in the plan. This potential lack of clarity did not have an impact on the outcome in this particular situation, but it might in another. It seems that your care plans may benefit from some review to ensure that there is no ambiguity unwittingly created for those attempting to follow them. ”

    Failure to display child-specific medical-condition notices in relevant staff areas

    Wider context from the report

    “2. I heard that some schools have notices with a child’s photograph and particular instructions regarding medical conditions, displayed in the staff room, office and medical room. Rasharn did have such a notice, but it was only in the medical room, and was not actually displayed at the time of his death, because of transitional arrangements regarding a move of premises. Again, this did not have an impact on the outcome for him, but might for another child. ”
