Background: Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) reduces daytime somnolence in
the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and may contribute to a reduction in the risk …

BACKGROUND Patients with untreated obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) have increased
motor vehicle collisions (MVCs). When successfully treated, they report improved driving …

This review assessed continuous positive airways pressure (CPAP) in patients with
obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome. The authors concluded that CPAP significantly …

Abstract Study Objectives: Drivers suffering from obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS)
have an increased risk for being involved in motor-vehicle collisions. This study estimates …
