Rich,

Obviously, considering that oxygen should (based on lipid solubility)
be about 2x as narcotic as a comparable partial pressure of nitrogen.

However, the research done (1 study) suggested that oxygen was about
equi-potent with nitrogen (maybe due to the metabolic pathway and
consumption of oxygen at the cellular level).
