You are Qualified Person at PQR Pharma, UK. During Review of a batch of a prefilled syringe product, you noticed numerous GMP deficiencies* during the manufacturing and packaging operation. You are the only manufacturer of this product which is in the essential medicines list (for neonatal meningitis patients). Each GMP breach in itself has been explained in a deviation report. However, due to number of GMP breaches, you are reluctant to certify the batch. Upon discussion with senior QA executives within the company it is apparent that they will authorise batch release.

Determine what actions, information,and data will be necessary (for each deficiency)in order for you,as the responsible Qualified Person, to carry out the Batch disposition?

Your decision must be based on appropriate risk assessment and backed up by the UK legislation/s in place. The batch was manufactured on 10th July 2021.

Your Task:
Write a report, detailing your actions with reasons.
Create a plan of your case report ie create a mind map an figures

Note: If you use any figures/tables then use appropriate captions and refer them in the text.

What are the association between OHCA pediatric patients’ demographics, clinical presentation, and high mortality rate in retrieval services?

There is little data on this survival rate and the factors that influence mortality in retrieved paediatric patients.This study aimed to address this research gap by assessing the factors that influenced mortality in retrieved and non-retrieved paediatric patients who presented with OHCAs.

Address the following questions:

What is the current evidence base to support retrieved pediatrics post OHCA?

What are the variables influencing paediatric retrieval mortality after OHCA?

Are there any challenges related to staff training, followed protocol, pre-transfer communication, or patients’ journey affecting the status of retrieved children with OHCA?

Are there any differences in the initial management for the retrieved and non-retrieved children after OHCA?

What are the association between OHCA pediatric patients’ demographics, clinical presentation, and high mortality rate in retrieval services?

What are the modifiable factors influencing OHCA retrieved pediatrics mortality?

What are the avoidable events occur during the interfacility transportation for paediatrics patients retrieved after OHCA?

What are the modifiable features that could be potentially improve the paediatrics resuscitation management in district general hospitals?
