PY - 2024 T2 - Anesthesiology Core Review: Part One: BASIC Exam, 2nd Edition AB - Diffusion is a net movement of gas molecules from an area of high partial pressure to low partial pressure. Pulmonary diffusion largely refers to the passive movement of O2 and CO2 along their pressure gradients in the lungs. At the level of the alveolus, where pulmonary diffusion occurs, inhaled anesthetic agents move according to partial pressure differences.
