What is key with helium and why in real life it does shorten deco is that
1) you do not get the damage with helium that you get with nitrogen,
2) it is far easier to breathe and causes you to develop less co2,
3) it is truly inert unlike nitrogen,
4) it lowers the narcotic effect and makes you more alert,
5) it does not precipitate the immune reaction that high partial pressures
of nitrogen do and forms smaller bubbles,
6) it comes out of tissues more easily.
