AB Successful  pedrformance  of  a  variety  of  procedures  may  prove  critical  in  management  of  patients  throughout  the  pediatric  age  spectrum.  Although  the  frequency  of  procedures  performed  in  clinical  practice  will  vary,  the  physician  should  feel  confident  in  performance  of  the  procedures,  and  have  knowledge  of  the  indications,  contraindications,  and  alternative  procedures.  When  possible  and  circumstances  allow,  obtain  appropriate  informed  consent  prior  to  beginning  a  procedure.  The  following  procedures  are  described  in  detail:  tube  thoracostomy,  cardioversion  and  defibrillation,  cardiac  pacing,  pericardiocentesis,  peripheral  intravenous  catheter  placement,  umbilical  vessel  catheterization,  central  venous  access,  venous  cutdown,  intraosseous  access,  arterial  catheter  placement,  gastrostomy  tube  replacement,  abscess  incision  and  drainage,  external  auditory  canal  foreign  body  removal,  nasal  canal  foreign  body  removal,  epistaxis  management,  common  dislocation  reductions,  arthrocentesis,  lumbar  puncture,  and  subprapubic  bladder  catheterization.
