Rod,

There have been studies of the attempted use of naloxone (Narcan) in
speeding up the recovery from inhalation anesthetics, and they have
essentially shown no effect (unless narcotics were used during the 
procedure, or as a pre-operative medication).

Most studies of the action of inhalation anesthetics have shown no
binding with any of the known narcotic receptors, so this is not
unexpected.  

However, it appears that the mechanism of action of IGN is probably the
same as that seen with the inhalation agents, so conclusions drawn from
studies involving inhalation anesthetics are probably applicable to IGN.

John
