Similar, but not quite. Difference is that between $10k and a million $. Both sums represent large amount of money.
In an aircraft decompression at 30,000 ft, pressure drops by 400 cm, hundred times the difference in a bipap, Decompression from 20 cm of pressure is 20 times less than that in an aircraft decompression.
