A Test for the Determination of Sustained Attention in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome

Abstract: Background and Objectives: To investigate the parameter daytime sleepiness in patients with the sleep apnea syndrome (SAS), a test for measurement of sustained attention was developed. The present studies were performed on volunteers undergoing preemployment medical examinations and SAS patients to determine the extent to which test results are in agreement with the symptoms of SAS and traffic accident reports, and also with daytime sleepiness, and whether learning or therapeutic effects can be seen with repea… Show more

“…The 3CVT developed by ABM incorporates features of the most common measures of sustained attention, such as the Continuous Performance Test (Weinstein, Silverstein et al 1999; Randerath, Gerdesmeyer et al 2000), Wilkinson Reaction Time (Wilkinson and Houghton 1982; Wilkinson 1990; Valencia-Flores, Bliwise et al 1996), and the PVT-192 (Dinges and Kribbs 1991; Dinges, Pack et al 1997), and it is designed to allow simultaneous monitoring and quantification of the EEG. These tasks are sensitive to changes in alertness as a result of acute sleep deprivation, cumulative sleep loss (Dinges, Pack et al 1997), daytime drowsiness in untreated sleep apnea in clinical populations (Dinges and Weaver 2003), and commercial truck drivers (Baulk, Biggs et al 2008).…”

“…die Spurüberschrei-tung keine relevante Abhängigkeit zeigten. Allerdings wurde bei ausprägter Schläfrigkeit von OSAS-Patienten mit einem ESSScore > 13 mit Carda eine höhere Fehlerzahl erreicht[40].Unter der Testung mit Carsim lag die Anzahl der Patienten, die eine sichere pathologische Abweichung aufwiesen deutlich höher.Die komplexere Aufgabe der interaktiven Fahrsimulation erfasst Patienten mit eingeschränkter Leistungsfähigkeit bezüglich geteilter Aufmerksamkeit und interaktivem Handeln. Dies konnte an Personen, deren Fahrleistung nach Alkoholgabe mit einem Fahrsimulator überprüft wurde, nachgewiesen werden.…”
