IT HAPENED ONCE TIME FOR ME AS SUCH PRESENTATION (DESATURATION AFTER ET INTUBATION) AND I HAVE CHECKED ALL WHAT YOU HAVE DID BUT THE PROBLEB WAS SOLVED WHEN I DISCOVERED THAT THE SIDE KNOB THAT SWITCH ON AND OFF THE FLOW OF FRESH GAS BETWEEN THE VENTILATOR (CV) AND THE ASSISTED VENTILATION (MANNUAL) WAS SWITCHED OFF THE FLOW OF THE VENTILATOR WHILE WE WERE WORKING ON CONTROLLED VENTILATION.
