Complications or incidents are often a combination of human, organizational, and technical errors. This work presents 24 case studies from intensive care medicine where complications or near incidents have occurred. It is aimed at all intensive care physicians who wish to learn from mistakes or become more aware of hazardous situations. Each case is divided into two parts: a description of the events and an analysis of the situation. Influencing factors such as organization, communication, leadership, teamwork, and resource management are thoroughly examined in relation to the occurrence of the incident. Additionally, woven into the case, the reader learns the key facts of the field of intensive care medicine. Following "Complications in Anesthesia," "Complications in Intensive Care Medicine" is the second work in this thematic area, presented in an engaging, entertaining, and educational manner.
