[News in emergency medicine 2009].
The field of Emergency Care Medicine is a very dynamic part of the Medical Science. That is why there is a huge amount of publications on this topic every year. This article is my personal selection of recently published scientific work on pulmonary embolism, classification of circulatory shock, betablockers in acute decompensated heart failure, advanced cardiac life support, subarachnoid hemorrhage, inhalation therapy with ipratropium-bromide, community acquired pneumonia, diverticulosis, gout and pancreatitis. Last but not least there is a choice of prophylactic interventions, you might not yet be aware of. Some of the discussed publications may help you manage the next patient you'll encounter, when you're on call next time.
