Abstract
Lung overinflation was observed in a patient ventilated by a Siemens Servo Ventilator 900 C. The expiratory valves failure to open was related to a transducer disconnection in the expiratory limb. This transducer controls opening of the expiratory valve and when disconnected expiratory valve remains closed.
