Simulated driving performance coupled with driver behaviour can predict the risk of sleepiness-related car accidents.
Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) is associated with the risk of sleepiness-related car accidents and worse driving simulator performances. Nevertheless, driving simulator studies failed to predict the real-world accident risk. Two-thirds of patients with OSAS will never experience a car crash, so that restricting their driving licence because of an OSAS diagnosis is not feasible.
متن کاملDriving simulator and neuropsychological testing in OSAS before and under CPAP therapy
Patients with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) have an increased car accident rate. Investigations on accident frequency are based on case history, insurance reports and driving simulator studies. The present study combines neuropsychological testing of different attention aspects engaged in driving a car and driving simulation to evaluate a suitable instrument for assessing therapeutic...
متن کاملContinuous measures of driving performance on an advanced office-based driving simulator can be used to predict simulator task failure in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome.
INTRODUCTION Some patients with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome are at higher risk of being involved in road traffic accidents. It has not been possible to identify this group from clinical and polysomnographic information or using simple simulators. We explore the possibility of identifying this group from variables generated in an advanced PC-based driving simulator. METHODS All patients ...
متن کاملComparison of driving performance in treated and untreated Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Syndrome (OSAS) patients and healthy controls
Background Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Syndrome (OSAS) has been shown to be an increased risk factor for traffic accidents. Studies performed in driving simulators have reported improvements in driving performance with the application of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) treatment. Aims This study aims to investigate the effect of OSAS to driving behaviour and the comparison to driving un...
متن کاملPrevalence, Awareness and Reporting of Symptoms of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea among Hospitalized Adult Patients in Nigeria: A Multicenter Study
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnoea is the most common form of sleep-disordered breathing in adults and children. It is associated with many adverse health consequences. The objectives this study were to determine the prevalence, awareness and reporting of symptoms of obstructive sleep apnoea among hospitalized adult patients in Nigeria. METHODS This was a multicenter cross-sectional study in...
