"Breathing NitrOx reduces fatigue" I was told today.
It seems like a silly concept except for maybe the shallowest of dives. Yes the %O2 is higher, but isn't it ppO2 that matters? If SaO2 is 100%, which I would expect any healthy person who is breathing compressed air at more than say 0.3 ppO2 to be doing, it doesn't seem like %O2>20.9% would matter? I thought NitrOx was just to reduce your nitrogen load.
