CPAP can be the same as those I mentioned with the ventilator. But when using mask CPAP it could also be due to poor mask fit which is similar to a disconnected tube. Remember CPAP like with the Vision has a small pressure sensing line that needs to be connected. If not it won't sense the patient's efforts.

@jeffc702 Your backup rate may be set too close to the actual pts rate
