AB A  3-month-old,  former  33-week-gestation  premature,  male  infant  presents  with  a  history  of  increasing  irritability  and  lethargy  and  vomiting  of  2  days’  duration.  The  infant  has  a  history  of  a  grade  III  intraventricular  hemorrhage  in  the  newborn  period  that  required  a  ventriculoperitoneal  (VP)  shunt.  The  neurologist  and  neurosurgeons  have  already  obtained  an  x-ray  and  have  determined  that  the  existing  VP  shunt  is  blocked.  He  is  scheduled  for  an  emergency  VP  shunt  revision.
