This is Form 2 of the Child Death Review (ANM's First Brief Investigation Report), a standard India RCH/child death review tool. In this form:

Section C - "According to the respondent (parent, close family member), what was the cause of death?" This is an open-ended field where the ANM records, in the respondent's own words, what the family believes caused the child's death (as distinct from Section B, which is the ANM's own probable clinical cause based on symptoms).

Section E - "Based on your analysis of the situation in which the death took place, what according to you could have been done to avert this death?" This is also open-ended, with three blank lines (1, 2, 3) for the ANM to list specific actionable steps/interventions that, in her assessment, could have prevented the death (e.g., earlier care-seeking, transport availability, treatment at facility, etc.).

Both are free-text write-in sections meant to be filled by the ANM based on the interview/investigation - they don't have pre-printed options like Sections A, B, or D. If you're filling this form for an actual case, I'd need the specific case details (symptoms, care-seeking pattern, delays identified in Section D) to help draft appropriate entries for C and E.

Child Death Review Form 2 ANM "Section C" respondent cause of death India

Section C isn't a checkbox field like Section B - it's open-ended, meant to capture the cause of death in the family's own words, as they perceive/believe it, rather than a clinical classification. It exists to compare "community perception" against the ANM's clinical assessment (Section B).

So what goes in Section C can be:

1. Lay versions of the same clinical categories from Section B, e.g.:

"Loose motions" / "loose stools" (diarrhoea)
"Cold and cough," "breathing problem," "chest infection" (pneumonia)
"Fever," "malaria fever"
"Measles," "rash with fever"
"Blood infection," "sepsis"
"Fits," "convulsions" (meningitis/seizure disorder)
"Accident," "fall," "burns," "snake bite" (injury)

2. Purely lay/folk explanations that don't map to any clinical category, which is exactly why this section is kept separate and free-text - families often attribute deaths to things like:

"Weakness," "was born weak"
"God's will" / "fate"
"Evil eye" / "evil spirit" / supernatural cause
"Something the mother ate," dietary belief
"Cold exposure," "wind entered the body"
"Don't know" / "sudden death, no reason known"

3. Simply "unknown" or "not sure" if the family has no clear idea.

The point of Section C is not to force it into Section B's fixed list - the ANM should write down whatever the parent/family member actually says, even if it's vague or non-medical, because a mismatch between family perception (Sec C) and probable clinical cause (Sec B) often points to exactly where the "delay" happened (which feeds into Section D - delay at home due to not recognizing severity, etc.).

If you're filling out this form for a real case, tell me what symptoms were reported in Section A/16 and what the family told you was wrong with the child, and I can help you phrase Section C and connect it logically to Sections B, D, and E.

What can be write in sec E option

Section E is where the ANM writes concrete, actionable recommendations - specific steps that, in her judgment, would have prevented this particular death. It has 3 blank lines and directly follows from whatever delay you identified in Section D. So the content should match the delay type:

If Section D delay was "at home" (didn't recognize severity, delayed care-seeking):

Family should have recognized danger signs (fast breathing, inability to feed, fever) earlier and sought care immediately.
Community/family awareness on danger signs of illness in children needed through ASHA/ANM home visits.
Immediate care-seeking should not have been delayed for home remedies/traditional treatment.

If Section D delay was "in transportation" (no transport, distance, terrain):

Emergency transport (108/ambulance) should have been arranged/available for timely referral.
Nearer health facility or timely referral to a higher center should have been made.
Cost/affordability of transport should not have been a barrier - free transport scheme should have been utilized.

If Section D delay was "at facility level" (staff/drugs/equipment not available, treatment delayed):

Doctor/trained staff should have been available round the clock at the facility.
Essential drugs and equipment (like IV fluids, oxygen, resuscitation equipment) should have been stocked.
Treatment should have been initiated without delay/referral should have been made faster to a higher facility.

General/combination points you can also use depending on the case:

Earlier immunization/nutrition follow-up could have prevented susceptibility to the illness.
Regular ANM/ASHA home visits and MCP card follow-up could have caught the illness early.
Referral linkage between sub-center -> PHC -> CHC/district hospital should have been stronger.
Health education to the family on recognizing illness and not relying on unqualified providers/quacks.

Practical tip: Section E should logically flow from Section D (the delay you circled) and from the symptoms/treatment-seeking pattern in Section A (Q16-17). Write 2-3 specific, realistic actions - not generic statements - since this section is used for local-level corrective action planning (strengthening referral, training, transport, stocking drugs, etc.).

If you tell me what delay you marked in Section D and briefly what happened in this specific case, I can help you draft the exact three lines for Section E.

Hypoglycaemia he has borad dead to medical

"hypoglycemia" AND child mortality

Based on what you've described - the child had hypoglycaemia and was "brought dead" (BD) to the health facility - here's how that fits into the form:

Section B. Probable cause of death Hypoglycaemia is not one of the pre-listed options (Diarrhoea, Pneumonia, Malaria, Measles, Septicemia, Meningitis, Injury). So you circle:

h. Any other cause (specify): Hypoglycaemia

(Unless there's an underlying illness that caused the hypoglycaemia - e.g. severe diarrhoea/vomiting leading to poor feeding and hypoglycaemia, or severe infection/sepsis. If so, note the underlying illness too, since hypoglycaemia in children is usually secondary to another condition - severe infection, prolonged fasting/poor feeding, severe malnutrition, or diabetic ketoacidosis/insulin issue if the child was known diabetic.)

Section C. According to the respondent, what was the cause of death? Write what the family actually said in their own words, e.g.:

"Child was not feeding/weak and suddenly collapsed"
"Child had fits/became unconscious"
"Sudden weakness, then died"
Or simply "Don't know" if they didn't recognize it as anything specific

(Families rarely say "hypoglycaemia" - they'll describe it as weakness, unconsciousness, fits, or "sudden death.")

Section D. Delay Since the child was brought dead, death occurred before or during transit to the facility. Most likely:

1. Delay at home - if the seriousness of the weakness/lethargy/poor feeding wasn't recognized in time, or treatment (checking blood sugar, glucose administration) wasn't sought early.

Could also be 2. Delay in transportation if the family recognized the problem but transport wasn't available/took too long, and the child died en route.

If both applied (didn't recognize severity soon AND transport also took time), you can note both, but the form expects you to identify the primary delay.

Section E. What could have been done to avert this death? Since it's a "brought dead" hypoglycaemia case, focus on early recognition and glucose correction:

Family/ASHA should have recognized early signs (poor feeding, lethargy, weakness, cold extremities) as danger signs requiring immediate care, not just observed at home.
Emergency transport should have been arranged immediately once the child became lethargic/unresponsive, to reach the facility before hypoglycaemia became fatal.
If accessible, oral glucose/sugar water should have been given at home as an immediate first-aid measure while arranging transport, and ANM/ASHA should follow up regularly on feeding in sick or low-birth-weight children (who are at higher risk of hypoglycaemia).

One clarification needed: was this a neonate/young infant (hypoglycaemia in infants is often linked to low birth weight, prematurity, poor feeding, or sepsis) or an older child (more often linked to prolonged fasting during illness, severe malaria/diarrhoea, or diabetes)? That changes what "underlying cause" you should also note in Section B alongside hypoglycaemia. Let me know the child's age and whether there was any illness before death (fever, poor feeding, diarrhoea, etc.) so I can refine Sections B and E further.

They sleep and come to medical on morning when already dead what to write for C And E

This is a classic "died during sleep, discovered dead next morning" scenario - very common in the delay-at-home category. Here's how to write C and E:

Section C. According to the respondent, what was the cause of death? Write exactly what the family reports, which in this pattern is usually:

"Child was sleeping at night, found not breathing/not moving in the morning"
"Child was unwell (weak/not feeding) before sleeping, died during sleep"
"Sudden death during sleep, cause unknown to family"
Or if there were no symptoms noticed before sleep: "Child was apparently normal, died suddenly during sleep - unexplained"

The key point for C is to note whatever the family says led up to it - e.g. if the child was already weak/not feeding/lethargic before going to sleep (which fits with the hypoglycaemia picture from before), record that: "Child was weak and not feeding well in the evening, was put to sleep, found dead in the morning."

Section D (for context) - this will almost always be 1. Delay at home: the seriousness of the illness (weakness/poor feeding/lethargy) before sleep was not recognized as an emergency, so no care was sought at night; the family waited till morning.

Section E. What could have been done to avert this death?

The family should have recognized the child's weakness/poor feeding/lethargy in the evening as a danger sign requiring same-time (night-time) medical attention, rather than assuming sleep/rest would help.
The caregiver should have periodically checked on the sick child during the night (breathing, responsiveness, warmth) instead of leaving the child unmonitored till morning, especially since the child was already unwell before sleeping.
Awareness should be created in the community (through ASHA/ANM) that a sick child - especially one who is not feeding, lethargic, or unusually cold/quiet - must be taken to a health facility immediately, even at night, and should not be "watched at home till morning."

If the child had no symptoms at all before sleeping and this was a truly sudden, unexplained death (no fever, no poor feeding, no illness reported), then it may be a case with "i. No identifiable cause" in Section B, and Section E would instead focus on general awareness: educating families to seek an ANM/medical opinion for any unusual signs, however minor, before putting a child to sleep, and reporting unexpected infant deaths for proper cause determination.

Was the child sick (fever, poor feeding, weakness) in the hours before sleeping, or did the child seem completely well when put to bed? That detail decides whether this is "delay at home due to unrecognized illness" or an "unexplained/no identifiable cause" death, which changes what you write in Section E.

As an anm write me 3 points

As the ANM, here are 3 points for Section E for this case (child with hypoglycaemia-type presentation, slept unwell overnight, found dead next morning):

The child was weak and not feeding well before being put to sleep - this should have been recognized as a danger sign requiring immediate medical attention at night, rather than waiting till morning.
The family/caregiver should have checked on the child periodically during the night (breathing, responsiveness, warmth) instead of leaving the sick child unmonitored until morning.
If the family had approached the ASHA/ANM or nearest health facility the same night when the child first appeared weak/unwell, timely correction of hypoglycaemia (glucose administration) could have prevented the death.

Sec c cause of death

For Section C (what the respondent/family says was the cause of death) for this specific case - child was weak/not feeding well, slept at night, found dead in the morning:

Section C. According to the respondent (parent, close family member), what was the cause of death?

"Child was weak and not feeding well in the evening. He was put to sleep as usual. In the morning, the family found the child not breathing/unresponsive. The family does not know the exact cause - they thought the child was only tired/sleeping and would be fine by morning."

Shorter version to write directly on the form line:

"Weakness and poor feeding noted before sleep; found dead in the morning - exact cause not known to family."

This is the correct way to fill Section C because it captures the family's own understanding/words, not your clinical diagnosis. Note that "hypoglycaemia" itself should NOT go in Section C, since that's your (the ANM's) clinical assessment - it belongs in Section B ("h. Any other cause - specify: Hypoglycaemia"). Section C only reflects what the parent/family believed or observed, in lay terms.

Write sec c and E in short lines

Section C: Child was weak, not feeding well before sleep; found dead in the morning - exact cause not known to family.

Section E:

Weakness/poor feeding before sleep should have been treated as a danger sign needing same-night care.
Child should have been monitored periodically through the night, not left unchecked till morning.
Timely medical attention that night could have corrected the hypoglycaemia and averted death.
