[Analysis and treatment workflow of modified seven-step approach for acute respiratory and circulatory disorders].

Acute respiratory and circulatory disorders are the most common critical syndromes, the essence of which is damage to the organs/systems of the heart and lungs. These comprise the essential manifestation of disease and injury progression to the severe stage. Its development involves the following components: individual specificity, primary disease strike, dysregulation of the host's response, and systemic disorders. Admission for acute respiratory and circulatory disorders is a clinical challenge. Based on a previously proposed flow, a critical care ultrasound-based stepwise approach (PIEPEAR) as a standard procedure to manage patients with acute cardiorespiratory compromise and practical experience in recent years, a modified seven-step analysis and treatment process has been developed to help guide clinicians with rational thinking and standardized treatment when faced with acute respiratory and circulatory disorders. The process consists of seven steps: problem-based clinical analysis, intentional information acquisition, evaluation of core disorder based on critical care ultrasound, pathophysiology and host response phenotype identification, etiology diagnosis, act treatment through pathophysiology-host response and etiology, and re-check. The modified seven-step approach is guided by a "modular analysis" style of thinking and visual monitoring. This approach can strengthen the identification of clinical problems and facilitate a three-in-one analysis. It focuses on pathophysiological disorders, body reactions, and primary causes to more accurately understand the condition's key points, and make treatment more straight forward, to finally achieve the aim of "comprehensive cognition and refined treatment".
