2 A What you have to do is place the patient on
3 their back on the table and it is very important to
4 feel around the abdomen because you don't want to put
5 the instrument through the abdominal wall through
6 something solid, so you feel for a soft area, and you
7 put the Novocain in the skin, and the incision would
8 be about the size diameter of this light.
9 Having done that, you take the hallow tube
10 into which you slide a spear, a pointy spear, and then
11 you take and you have the patient make their abdomen
12 rigid, tight, hold their breath and puncture into the
13 abdominal cavity and you remove the spear from the
14 inside of the tube and hook it to a catheter, take it
15 down to a large body and under gravity flow, drain the
16 fluid out of the abdominal cavity.
17 When you are finished, you remove the trocar
18 and put several sutures into the small incision so the
19 fluid doesn't continue to drain out.
