Nitrogen would work way better.  CO poisoning isn’t a pleasant death.  
Nitrogen you wouldn’t notice

Been kind of wondering why this method is not widely used. I kill trapped raccoons with nitrogen and it's painless. They just go to sleep peacefully and never wake up.

"Couldn't" start an IV line to administer the chemicals that would put him to sleep?

Or "wouldn" start an IV line to administer the chemicals that would put him to sleep (permanently)?

At what point did the decision to stop poking veins got made?  At least 3 veins from the wrist to the elbow joint, but they couldn't hit a single one?

"Cruel and Unusual Punishment" being poked too many times for an IV now?  Gee I should sue the VA for the multiple times they stuck the shit out of my arm.

It's a toxic reactive chemical.  N2 is piss cheap and you just vent when done into thev78% N2 atmosphere.  

I suppose you could try to repurpose the N2 even, like to do ballons, but that seems a bit dark.

The government seizes more than sufficient amounts of fentanyl for an overdose.  They wouldn't even need to start an IV line...just fix up a way to blow a bunch of powdered fentanyl up his sinuses.  As fentanyl is a pain killer/opioid, he couldn't really say he fears pain from that method of execution.

I'd buy 'couldn't.'  Haven't many/most state medical associations prohibited their member & licensees from participating in executions in that manner?  Then have some elderly, often former IV drug abusing, uncooperative death row inmate, and it may not be all that easy to set an IV.  

Considering Smith got to Death Row by beating and stabbing to death a pastor's wife, for hire, I am with you about not caring very much about Smith's suffering.  Hack his goddamned arms off at the elbow and shove the cannulas into the stumps for all I care.

Theres a recent case where an IV tech bungled it so bad he basically injected all the chemicals anywhere but into the vein. The resulting chemical burn made the offenders skin turn black and slough off. Took forever to kill him.  Missing veins in fat, diabetics or former junkies is a real thing. Some procedures they end up doing a cutdown. I dunno if its such a mess perhaps an alternative makes sense only from a procedural point of view.

There’s a reason that the hospitals have an “IV team” and have ultrasound assisted IVs available.

But it would work the same way.

I've done enough closed vessel training ,that coupled with the fact that we purged NG with Nitrogen made me very very careful.

I mean at least two separate atmospheric meters and a rescue rope tied to me with an observer who could yank me out if necessary.

I've been saying for years that nitrogen was the best agent for capital punishment.

Why not just OD them on fentanyl?  They'd die high as a kite or never know.

Alternatively I would just keep an inmate on a bed with a guillotine.  When he falls asleep.............whammy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nitrogen will pretty much put them right to sleep and they die rapidly with little chance of issues. Pure nitrogen leaks in a contained area are killers, often of the initial victim and their would be rescuers.

Yep...if anyone ever wanted to commit medical suicide you just need to call up airgas or linde buy a bottle of N2, have them deliver it and then just hop in your car and open the valve....yeah I know you will need a regulator to connect to the valve.

Just make sure you lock the doors, and put a warning sign or text someone about all the n2 in the car.

Worked with LN2 for many years, you wanted to be real careful with it.
Had a guy die filling a big thermos with it, when I worked in CA passed by a place where they had several deaths, cold nitrogen would settle at the bottom of the work pit and workers went in but never came out, guys tried to rescue them and they died too.
Out of curiosity one day I hooked an air pack mask up to house N2 and held it to my face, you notice nothing then a quick buzz, like if you ever got put under for surgery. Fine one second and then out.
They should have been doing this for years for executions.

I think I saw it in a veterinary handbook for dispatching animals after reading about the girl who shot the cat with a crossbow. Euthanasia with firearms is frowned upon. Put it in a trash can and drop a hose in it. Pretty sure argon would do the same thing.
