| narcosis |
A state of stupor brought on by a drug or chemical that depresses nerve excitability. Most often associated in diving with nitrogen. As the partial pressure of nitrogen increases with depth, an increased amount of nitrogen becomes dissolved in body solutions. Nitrogen is known to have an anesthetic effect. Nitrogen narcosis is usually reversible by a decrease in depth.
