Subject: 5 mL of 1% lidocaine WERE injected...
In response to Mark's question, "5 cc of 1% lidocaine was or were injected", the text from the grammar website below, from the topic, "Subject-Verb Agreement", explains why "WERE" was the right word there. Per that text, the "5 mL" (but not the "lidocaine") becomes the Subject, and the Verb should be in plural.

"Each of the students is responsible for doing his or her work in the library.
Don't let the word "students" confuse you; the subject is each and each is always singular — Each is responsible."
Hope that helps!
