Q - What does the Wada test consist of?
The California Pacific Epilepsy ProgramA - A catheter is inserted into the artery in the right groin region and then threaded up to the carotid artery in your neck. A dye is injected into the catheter that illuminates the blood vessels in your head. The dye is injected twice so we can look at both sides of the brain. After this, we connect you to an EEG machine. The medicine (amobarbital) is injected into the catheter to put half of your brain to sleep.
Related QuestionsWhat happens during the Wada test?
During a Wada, the neuroradiologist puts one side of your brain to sleep for a few minutes. This is done by injecting sodium amobarbital (also called sodium amytal) into the right or left internal carotid artery. If the right carotid artery is injected, the right side of the brain goes to sleep and can't communicate with the left side. Once the physicians are sure that one side of your brain is asleep, the neuropsychologist shows you objects and pictures.

This risk of stroke is less than 1% overall.
