TESTING & TREATMENT

FOR AVIATION

Welcome to Snore No More Vegas, your trusted partner in sleep apnea testing and treatment conveniently located in Las Vegas, NV. We specialize in helping aviation professionals effectively manage sleep apnea while meeting FAA and military regulations and ensuring safety. Whether you're a commercial pilot, private aviator, military pilot, or air traffic controller, addressing sleep apnea is crucial for both your health and your career.

FAA AND MILITARY REQUIREMENTS FOR AVIATION PROFESSIONALS

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and military branches mandate that pilots and air traffic controllers meet specific health criteria, including the management of sleep apnea, to ensure optimal alertness and performance. Sleep apnea, a common but serious sleep disorder, can significantly impact an individual's ability to operate safely. It's essential for aviation professionals to undergo testing and, if necessary, treatment for sleep apnea.

HOME SLEEP TESTING

At Snore No More Vegas, we offer a comprehensive 7-channel home sleep test that meets FAA and military requirements. This convenient testing option allows you to undergo sleep apnea evaluation from the comfort of your home, eliminating the need for hospital visits and minimizing disruption to your schedule. All home sleep tests are read and interpreted by a board-certified Sleep Physician.

CUSTOMIZED SLEEP APNEA TREATMENT

For those diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), compliance with treatment is crucial. Our mandibular advancement devices (MADs) are equipped with advanced tracking devices similar to those found in CPAP machines. These devices monitor usage and compliance, ensuring that you effectively manage your condition while adhering to FAA and military regulations. The board-certified Sleep Physician provides a letter of diagnosis and medical necessity, which is made available to all FAA and military physicians involved in the patient's treatment.

SPECIALIZED SOLUTIONS FOR CPAP INTOLERANT PROFESSIONALS

We understand that some individuals may be intolerant to Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy, which is the standard treatment for OSA. Our MADs provide an alternative solution that offers comfort and efficacy without the challenges associated with CPAP therapy. You can rely on our devices to maintain optimal health and compliance, enabling you to focus on safe and successful operations.

TREATMENT

A CUSTOM TREATMENT PLAN TO FIT YOUR NEEDS

Sleep apnea, a sleep disorder marked by breathing interruptions during the night, presents a significant concern not only for truck and bus drivers but also for various professionals in the commercial transportation industry, such as Train Engineers, Airplane Pilots, and Commercial Marine vessel operators. Recent research from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) reveals that about 30% of commercial truck drivers experience sleep apnea to varying extents. Failing to address this disorder poses numerous risks to drivers and the general public alike, including:

  • Daytime drowsiness

  • Impaired driving performance

  • Increased risk of road accidents

At Sleep Better Breathe Better Denver, we offer expert solutions for sleep apnea that not only enhance sleep quality for DOT drivers, but also contribute to safer roads overall.

With our expertise, convenient testing, rapid results, and a range of treatment options, we ensure improved breathing and safer driving experiences.

We will keep you driving safely!

HOW SLEEP APNEA CAN AFFECT YOUR JOB AS A PROFESSIONAL DRIVER

Although the FMCSA doesn't mandate sleep apnea testing as part of the DOT physical, it has implemented regulations allowing medical professionals to evaluate a commercial driver's ability to continue driving.

These regulations, referred to as the Pulmonary Standard, allow healthcare providers to assess the need for testing for respiratory conditions like sleep apnea to ensure the safe operation of commercial vehicles.

Drivers diagnosed with sleep apnea can regain their "medically-qualified-to-drive" status by undergoing treatment. Adherence to treatment, especially Precision Oral Appliance therapy, is essential for meeting DOT standards and ensuring safe driving. Declining sleep apnea treatment may lead to disqualification from operating commercial vehicles, potentially resulting in loss of employment.

SLEEP APNEA

TREATMENT COMPLIANCE

Adherence to sleep apnea treatment is an important obligation for DOT drivers who have been diagnosed with sleep apnea. Healthcare professionals closely track a driver's compliance by collecting and analyzing usage data, which forms the foundation for a detailed compliance report.

When a driver starts sleep apnea treatment, drivers receive conditional certification for the initial month, providing them with a transition period to adjust to the treatment regimen. If they adhere to the prescribed plan effectively during this introductory phase, their conditional certification is extended to a 3-month card, signifying sustained and successful treatment.

Upon successfully maintaining compliance and effective treatment for three consecutive months, DOT drivers become eligible for annual certification. The annual recertification process involves a meticulous review of compliance data from the previous year to ensure ongoing management of sleep apnea and adherence to treatment protocols.

This serious commitment to compliance and annual recertification highlights the paramount importance of prioritizing the safety of commercial drivers and everyone else using the roads. This is done by mitigating the risks associated with sleep-deprived driving.
