Abstract

In the PICU, many machines, devices, and procedures are used which are relatively uncommon in other parts of the hospital. Most of the devices have some risk (possible complications) as well as potential benefit, about which a physician should be aware and also it is important to inform the parents and take a written consent. The chapter explains about some common PICU procedures of intubation, central line placement, arterial line placement, intra cranial pressure monitoring, chest tube placement, and intra abdominal pressure monitoring for better understanding and performance. All these devices are well explained with introduction, diagnostic methods, ways of positioning the patient, its functional area, and its complications. The devices are also well summarized with stepwise images of the procedures, graphs, and table contents.
