Visual vigilance in drivers with obstructive sleep apnea
Journal of Psychosomatic Research, 07/21/09
Tippin J et al. – Reduced vigilance for peripheral visual targets indicates that OSA drivers have restriction of their effective field of view, which may partly explain their increased crash risk. This fatigue–related decline in attention is predicted by increased subjective sleepiness during driving. These findings may suggest a means of identifying and counseling high–risk drivers and aid in the development of in–vehicle alerting and warning devices.
