Wow that was very disappointing. Nothing new and a lot I disagree with.
 
A good recap of a lot of known information, but I disagree with the conclusion.

The mark of a good narcosis understanding survey: both sides of the deep air spectrum are equally unhappy. I would have liked to have seen a comment on the O2 as narcotic issue, though.
 
As with others, I disagree with the conclusions, and even the paper itself does not lead to those conclusions. It even contradicts them in some points. It seems to be a presentation of what we know followed by a conclusion of what the author thinks.

That whole Ask Dr. Deco thread from 2001 is good, but posts #3 and #4 reference various papers or concepts and might take hours to read thoroughly.

Better than pie, almost better than diving.

(Also found the old GUE article about narcotic potency of various monatomic and diatomic gases, plus bigger anesthetic molecules)
