Most of these are common problems that can be prevented by making the right *choice of mask* and keeping up with your follow up visits both to your provider and for follow up titration studies.

But The Late Show aired too late so I watched the VCR recordings the next day. Dave’s humorous review of the topic of the day in a countdown has always been a format for maximum impact. 10 has just the right amount of depth and conciseness although the round numbered list has been around for some time (i.e., The Ten Commandments). I would, however, argue that Dave made the Top Ten List what it is today in our modern lexicon. You can not go anywhere without encountering a top ten from recipes on YouTube to football power rankings. Maybe it’s because they’re so easy to write—anyone can come up with one.

The problem with this “one-size fits all” approach is that it mirrors interventions for an **acute illness** (e.g., prescribing a cast followed by physical therapy education for a broken bone), which is characterized by abrupt or rapid onset, limited duration, and a single cause (usually). But OSA is a ***chronic* illness** characterized by gradual onset of lengthy or indefinite duration, multivariate causation (which can change over time), and a focus on functional status rather than individual diagnoses; moreover, cure is unlikely and long-term management of symptoms and disease consequences necessitated a “long-view” of treatment.

Since the commercial appearance of the device in 1985, it has basically consisted of a box with a fan in it delivering room air to the lungs through a mask on the face. But if you take a closer look, the mechanisms by which it acts on a patient is rather dramatic and the subject of this edition of the Circadiance blog [Read More](https://blog.circadiance.com/blog/lifting-the-veil-on-the-magic-of-cpap-therapy) 2 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.circadiance.com/blog/lifting-the-veil-on-the-magic-of-cpap-therapy#comments-listing) Topics: [Sleep Health](https://blog.circadiance.com/blog/topic/sleep-health) ## [“The sleep tech will see you now.” Why there has never been a safer time to have your sleep study.](https://blog.circadiance.com/blog/diagnosing-osa) Posted by [Circadiance](https://blog.circadiance.com/blog/author/circadiance) on Aug 25, 2020, 11:03:37 AM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://blog.circadiance.com/hubfs/Diagnosing%20OSA-01.png)](https://blog.circadiance.com/blog/diagnosing-osa) Personalized risk estimates have little bearing on reality. The best example of this is the level of safety we feel driving versus flying—though cars are many times more dangerous than airplanes. What it comes down to is the perception of control: we get to operate our own SUVs, but we leave flying up to the ‘friendly skies’.
