The rare tussive syncope syndrome, which can lead to a road traffic accident, occurs almost solely in the male aged 40 years and over with a pyknic to athletic physique, who suffer from obstructive respiratory tract disease and/or pulmonary emphysema. Frequently there is a correlation between the illness and alcohol and tobacco consumption. Loss of consciousness lasting only a few seconds occurs a few seconds after a coughing attack leaving behind a short loss of memory. Tussive syncope can be a solitary event, but can also occur up to thirty times a day. In foro, characteristically the link between a heavy coughing and loss of consciousness as well as the type of person make diagnosis easier. The suitability of the subject to hold a driving licence should be judged carefully and on individual criteria.
罕见的咳嗽性晕厥综合征几乎仅发生于40岁及以上、体型矮胖至健壮的男性，他们患有阻塞性呼吸道疾病和/或肺气肿，这种综合征可能导致交通事故。该疾病常与饮酒和吸烟有关。咳嗽发作后几秒钟会出现仅持续几秒的意识丧失，并伴有短暂失忆。咳嗽性晕厥可以是单次发作，但也可能一天发作多达30次。在法庭上，剧烈咳嗽与意识丧失之间的关联以及患者类型有助于诊断。应根据个人标准仔细判断患者是否适合持有驾驶执照。
