Inert gas causes cerebral hypoxia and thus fading of awareness and eventual unconsciousness (which occurs ~30 mmHg) so rapidly that any dyspnea as a result of hypoxia is extremely minimal given a proper setup, especially if hypocapnia is induced beforehand through hyperventilation and if adequate CO2 purging is present either through exhalation valves or high flow rate flushing it out.I thought most of the panic reaction during suffocation was caused by CO2 buildup, but that won't be happening with SN. Inert gases are meant to be peaceful even though the mechanism of death is oxygen deprivation, because CO2 can still be expelled. Is this unrelated?
