Have an anesthetist put them out. Then wheel them into a decompression chamber. Decades ago, I watched a series "The Body In Question", where the host of the program used himself as the subject, to demonstrate how people can be entirely oblivious to the fact they are suffocating, if the CO2 doesn't build up. I just did a net sifter search to make sure high altitude hypoxia was painless and fatal, and the net sifter directed me to a suicide crisis lineAgain, there is the problem of needing a competent/expert phlebotomist, and also for the victim to have viable veins, the lack of which can stymie even the most experienced phlebotomist. But I still have the question about whether intramuscular anesthesia could be used.
I watched the clip. Yes, it was a seemingly "peaceful" drift into unconsciousness, but it ended too soon. I'll bet that if the lack of O2 and increasing CO2 continued, the man would have experienced unpleasantness:
Contrary to claims by proponents that nitrogen asphyxiation is quick and painless, eyewitness testimonies from the recent executions described visible suffering that inmates were forced to endure for several minutes before eventually losing consciousness—thrashing, violent jerking of the body and head, heaving and retching, gasping, choking, moaning, and struggling—indicating prolonged and profound respiratory distress and challenging the widespread, misinformed narrative of a humane death (5, 6). We vehemently oppose using inhaled nitrogen for these and related purposes as stated previously (1–3), grounding our arguments in well-established physiological rationale and empirical studies as opposed to speculative emotion and unfounded beliefs.https://journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.1152/j...
