| | Summary: Purpose and Methods: We report our experience with sodium methohexital (Brevital.) as anesthetic used in the Wada test for language and memory in 86 epilepsy surgery patients (173 procedures). | | | Results: Despite differences between the methohexital and amobarbital test protocols, the behavioral and neurological effects of the two anesthetics are similar. | | | Conclusion: The results of language and memory testing in the Wada test are equivalent for amobarbital and methohexital except that methohexital has a briefer duration of action and is associated with less sedation. |
