Residual Sleepiness Risk in Aircrew Members with -Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome.

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a major problem in aviation medicine because it is responsible for sleepiness and high cardiovascular risk, which could jeopardize flight safety. Residual sleepiness after the treatment is not a rare phenomenon and its management is not homogenous in aviation medicine. Thus, we decided to perform a study to describe this management and propose guidelines with the help of the literature.

Prevalence of sleep disorders in a large French cohort of aircrew members and risk of in-flight sleepiness.

Background: /objectives: Sleep disorders are a critical issue for flight safety. Previous studies have shown a high prevalence of sleep disorders and excessive sleepiness in the general population and some aircrews. The objectives of this study are to measure the prevalence of excessive daytime sleepiness and sleep disorders in aircrews, and to determine the risk factors of falling asleep during a flight.

Travel health study in commercial aircrew members.

Background: Aircrew members of airlines are exposed to travel risks. The objectives of our study are to assess the experience of aircrews about these risks and their knowledge about prevention means.

Methods: We conducted an observational qualitative study in commercial aircrews at the aeromedical center of Percy Military Hospital between November 2018 and June 2019.

Epidemiology of Airmen Treated with Immunosuppressive Drugs and Vaccination Concerns.

Background: Immunosuppressive treatments are increasingly prescribed in a variety of diseases. This issue concerns airmen.

Methods: To assess the problem, we conducted an observational retrospective study in the aircrew population examined in 2014 at the Aeromedical Center of Percy Military Hospital.
