Review[Structured bedside-ultrasound in intensive care medicine].
The so-called point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is of increasing importance for diagnostics and therapy control in intensive care medicine. Based on focused thorax sonography, echocardiography, and abdominal sonography, the most important working and differential diagnoses can be demonstrated or excluded depending on the leading symptom. Sonographic-based algorithms allow a structured evaluation especially of patients with the common leading symptoms dyspnea and thoracic pain.

Case Reports[Severe accidental hypothermia : Treatment using an intravascular temperature management catheter].
Different techniques have been reported for the treatment of severe accidental hypothermia. In this case, we successfully used an intravascular catheter temperature management system which has been developed to induce reversible therapeutic hypothermia in patients following resuscitation. In our patient, the initial core temperature was 26.7 °C, and the temperature management system allowed for successful rewarming without complications with a maximum rate of about 1 °C/h.
