At first glance, the answer seems to be that you wouldn't want to do this as the narcosis would be worse. However, recent work seems to have shown that Oxygen is equally narcotic as Nitrogen and I therefore suggest that altering the ratio of Oxygen to Nitrogen in either direction will not affect the narcotic potency of the resulting gas. ****************** What is this recent work and has it been published... if so could you please cite it...and reference..
