Q

Diffusion Hypoxia

A

During emergence from nitrous oxide anesthetic, rapid elimination of nitrous oxide from the lungs dilutes other alveolar gases, producing alveolar “diffusion hypoxia.” This phenomenon is driven by the same mechanism as the second gas effect—but in the reverse direction

too much nitrogen being exhaled, dilutes other gases, leads to hypoxia
