This question is directed to the anesthesiologists out there.  Are there
in existence today any drugs which will increase the solubity of gases
in the blood ?  My thinking was that if a suitable drug could be
administered to the diver either during the dive or after a DCI hit that
would increase the solublity of N2 in the blood, then the "bandwidth" of
offgassing could be increased.  How effective are the lungs at removing
excess dissolved gases ?  My guess is that this is completely and
directly related to the concentration gradients at the alveolar level.
