Pressure is the resistance measurement through a vessel created by the amount of flow. Therefore if there is a loss of pressure the flow generator will increase flow until the required pressure is achieved. Increased pressure is a result of increased flow. According to the definitions CapnLoki is correct and is hereby declared the winner!!

This forum is about therapy. For that, that counts is mask pressure and flow volume; the pressure at the source is meaningless. This is why you don't seem to understand cpaps.
