Obstructive sleep apnea has been a concern for commercial vehicle drivers for several decades. An increasing body of knowledge supports the idea that insufficient sleep can affect drivers' abilities to react efficiently and expediently, leading to motor vehicle accidents. Insufficient sleep can be described as short sleep periods, prolonged driving time, and dysfunctional sleep breathing. Commercial motor vehicle drivers are required to undergo physical examinations at least once every 2 years to maintain certification. Medical examiners are encouraged to screen for obstructive sleep apnea during these biannual examinations. Current literature identifies four frequently used screening tools for obstructive sleep apnea: STOP Questionnaire, STOP-Bang Questionnaire, Berlin Questionnaire, and Epworth Sleepiness Scale. Medical examiners must determine which screening method is valid, reliable, and has sufficient evidence to support its use.
阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停症（obstructive sleep apnea）几十年来一直是商用车驾驶员关注的问题。越来越多的知识表明，睡眠不足会影响驾驶员的反应能力和应对速度，从而导致机动车事故。睡眠不足可表现为睡眠时间短、驾驶时间延长以及睡眠呼吸功能障碍。为了保持认证，商用机动车驾驶员每 2 年至少需要进行一次体检。鼓励体检医生在这些半年期检查中筛查阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停症。目前的文献确定了四种常用于阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停症的筛查工具：STOP 问卷、STOP-Bang 问卷、柏林问卷和嗜睡量表。体检医生必须确定哪种筛查方法有效、可靠，并且有足够的证据支持其使用。
