We sought to establish whether an expedited or 'fast-track' NHS service to diagnose obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and establish vocational drivers on continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) within 4 weeks of referral was possible. This model is recommended by the OSA Partnership Group. In total, 55 vocational drivers were referred to two sleep services. Assessment showed 73% had moderate or severe OSA on sleep study. Of those commenced on CPAP, review was a mean of 15 days after initiation (range 3-62 days). Median time from referral (or first clinic visit) to review on CPAP was 32 days, showing a 'fast-track' pathway is deliverable.
我们试图确定是否可以在 NHS 中建立一个加速或“快速通道”服务，以便在转诊后 4 周内诊断阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停 (OSA) 并为职业驾驶员提供持续气道正压通气 (CPAP)。这是 OSA 合作小组推荐的模式。共有 55 名职业驾驶员被转诊到两个睡眠服务机构。评估显示，73%的人在睡眠研究中患有中度或重度 OSA。在开始使用 CPAP 的人中，平均在开始后 15 天（范围 3-62 天）进行了复查。从转诊（或首次就诊）到 CPAP 复查的中位时间为 32 天，表明“快速通道”是可行的。
