Language assessment in Wada test: Comparison of methohexital and amobarbital [PDF]
Seizure: the Journal of the British Epilepsy Association, 2009 IntroductionMethohexital has replaced amobarbital during Wada testing at many centers. The objective of our study was to compare the use of methohexital and amobarbital during Wada testing regarding language and memory lateralization quotients as well as

Repeated Intracarotid Amobarbital Tests [PDF]
Epilepsia, 2007 Summary: Rationale: Our goal was to determine the frequency of repeated intracarotid amobarbital test (IAT) at our center and to estimate the retest reliability of the IAT for both language and memory lateralization. Methods: A total of 1,249 consecutive IATs on 1,190 patients were retrospectively reviewed for repeat tests. Results: In 4% of patients
