Sleep Apnoea Screening for Drivers and Rail Workers
Sleep apnoea screening may form part of a commercial driver or rail safety medical where the worker has symptoms or recognised risk factors for obstructive sleep apnoea.
Risk factors may include snoring, witnessed breathing pauses, daytime sleepiness, high blood pressure, increased body mass index, increased neck circumference or a history of sleepiness-related driving incidents.
Where the medical assessment identifies an increased risk, the practitioner may recommend an overnight sleep study and specialist assessment.
EMedHx provides convenient home-based sleep studies, equipment fitting, specialist-reviewed reporting and follow-up medical assessment.
