Annals of Internal Medicine, 10/07/09
Vakulin A et al. – This study evaluated simulated driving performance in 38 patients with untreated OSA and 20 control participants under 3 conditions: unrestricted sleep, sleep restriction, and consumption of alcohol. Compared with control participants, patients with untreated OSA had worse simulated driving performance. Patients with OSA also had greater decrements in driving performance after sleep restriction and after alcohol consumption. Consider alerting patients about the potential negative influence of untreated OSA on driving performance and their heightened vulnerability after sleep deprivation and alcohol consumption.
