An emergency appendicectomy is being performed on a 20 year old man. For maintenance of anaesthesia, he is being ventilated using a circle system with a fresh gas flow (FGF) of 1 L/min (air/oxygen and sevoflurane). The trace on the capnograph shows a normal shape. The table below demonstrates the changes in the end-tidal and baseline carbon dioxide measurements of the capnograph at 10 and 20 minutes of anaesthesia maintenance. End-tidal CO2: 4.9 kPa vs 8.4kPa (10 minutes vs 20 minutes). Baseline end-tidal CO2: 0.2 kPa vs 2.4kPa. Pulse 100-107 beats per minute, systolic blood pressure 125-133 mmHg and oxygen saturation 98-99%. Which of the following is the single most important immediate course of action?
