This anesthesiologist may need some basic chem - N2 does not form ionic bonds @ ordinary temps & pressures (yes diving P's R ordinary P). N2 gas is difficult molecule to ionize. So any citations he comes up will B of great interest. As for aggregability of RBC, platelets & diving, that info goes back to Pihl (1970's). It de facto became the progenitor of aspirin as bends prophylaxis. The BBA article & subsequent similar papers attempting to dissect the effects of staright P on RBC's from gas partition we discussed a few months back.
