The recent Q-PULSE Survey compiled by Chad Carlson asked members to place the Wada test (bilateral intracarotid amobarbital test) in the context of the current practice of epilepsy surgery. Historically, the Wada test has three purposes: to lateralize language, to assess the risk of memory loss after epilepsy surgery, and to help provide predictive data in localization of the epileptic focus.
查德·卡尔森编制的近期Q-PULSE调查要求成员们将Wada测试(双侧颈动脉注射异戊巴比妥钠测试)置于当前癫痫手术实践的背景下考量。从历史角度来看,Wada测试有三个目的:确定语言功能的优势半球、评估癫痫手术后记忆丧失的风险,以及协助提供癫痫病灶定位的预测数据。
