Zhang Xiao lifted the girl's eyelid, exposing her eyeball. Liu Banxia took two deep breaths before taking the syringe from Shi Lei.
Even though a decision had been made, Liu Banxia's heart was pounding with anxiety. This was entirely different from on-the-spot abdominal or thoracic hemorrhage control procedures; the operation site was the brain, a highly risky area.
Just when the needle was about to touch the patient's eyeball, Liu Banxia withdrew his hand again.
"Banxia, you can do it. Just insert the needle from the upper outer edge of the eyeball to avoid more nerves and reach the location of the hydrocephalus," Zhang Xiao said.
"It's similar to the feeling of an abdominal puncture. Your touch is so good; you don't need to drain too much fluid. We just need to resolve the brain herniation and buy us time to perform drainage in the operating room."
By then, the monitor had been connected, but it was just blaring alarms non-stop.
