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”.

Objective:To explore the clinical application effect of cluster strategy in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) to prevent urinary tract infection (UTI) in very low birth weight infants.Methods:This study was a historical control study. The cluster sampling was used to continuously selected very low birth weight infants admitted to the Children's Hospital of Fudan University from January 2019 to December 2020 as the research object. Starting from January 2019, very low birth weight infants who met the criteria were continuously included as the control group for 11 consecutive months, and the traditional routine methods were used for the prevention of UTI. From December 2019 to January 2020, two consecutive months were the training period for the new prevention strategy. Starting from February 2020, very low birth weight infants who met the criteria were included as the intervention group for 11 consecutive months, and the cluster prevention strategy was adopted (hand hygiene, hip skin nursing, oral nursing, bedside nursing supplies management, personnel training, monitoring and detailed evaluation) . The incidence of UTI in the two groups of children were compared, and the bacterial species and bacterial spectrum of UTI in very low birth weight infants were observed.Results:During the study period, 72 cases of UTI occurred in the control group and 793 cases in the hospital, with the incidence rate of 9.1%. In the intervention group, 28 cases of UTI occurred, and there were 633 cases in the hospital, with an incidence rate of 4.4%. Logistic regression analysis showed that the positive rate of urine culture without clustering strategy was 2.719 times that of the intervention group [ OR=2.719, 95% confidence interval: (1.640, 4.506) ]. UTI in very low birth weight infants were mainly caused by Gram-negative bacilli, of which Klebsiella pneumoniae ranked first (30%, 30/100) . Conclusions:The cluster nursing strategy for very low birth weight infants can effectively reduce the incidence of UTI, and it is worthy of clinical application.
