Chloroform

[chloroforms]

Would chloroform inside a huge bag tied securely around your head work? Chloroform would knock me out, so I wouldn't have the urge to untie the plastic bag right? Any better ways? I don't have access to nitrogen or helium nor a proper exit bag. I was thinking of hanging from the door knob, but I don't know how to do it. Please share any tips.

Yes it will work, just make sure there is at least under 1% oxygen by volume inside the bag around your head, you don't need anything, all you need to do is, if it's from a bottle or reaction in a bottle, make sure to not do it in a bottle and instead do it in a completely deflated bag to push all air out and also separate the things you need for the reaction to produce chloroform (like each individual different chemical on each 1 cup inside the bag) and then while still in the bag, you should be able to use your fingers outside of the bag to make the cups go upside down and therefore make the reaction happen, if it's not from a reaction, assuming it's a pure chloroform bottle, open the cap, push out all the air from the bag and then use your fingers and hand to wrap the bags opening line tight around the bottles opening and wait for it to fill, if it's not in a liquid form, something like a gas tank, just deflate the bag completely of air to make sure it's empty and then wrap the bags opening line with your hand on the gas tank's opening where the gas comes out, and then let it fill the bag, if it's something else, just make sure to try your best to not add any air and/or if the chloroform has oxygen added, or anything that makes oxygen, will make your method fail or be painful.

I think, that can work if you do it in a right way. If you're lucky, chloroform can kill you before asphyxiation

The truth is, however, that if there be too much vapour of chloroform in the air the patient breathes, it may cause sudden death, even without previous insensibility, and whilst the blood in the lungs is of a florid colour.

At concentration of 4%, chloroform should make you insensible in 3 - 4 minutes

The most exact way in which it is practicable to exhibit chloroform to a patient about to undergo an operation, is to introduce a measured quantity into a bag or balloon of known size, then to fill it up by means of the bellows, and allow the patient to inhale from it; the expired air being prevented from returning into the balloon, by one of the valves of the face-piece to which it is attached. I tried this plan in a few cases, in 1849, with so much chloroform in the balloon as produced four per cent. of vapour in proportion to the air. The effects were extremely uniform, the patients becoming insensible in three or four minutes, according to the greater or less freedom of respiration; and the vapour was easily breathed, owing to its being so equally mixed with the air.

It is advisable to request the patient to breathe gently and quietly, when he commences to inhale chloroform; in other words, to do nothing but conduct himself as if he were about to fall asleep naturally; for, if he breathes deeply, the vapour feels much more pungent than it otherwise would do, and is apt to excite coughing, or a feeling of suffocation.

Chloroform is a liquid at temperatures appropriate for breathing and at normal pressure, it cannot be used as a simple asphyxiant. Only its vapors can be inhaled. High concentrations of chloroform have irritating effect.
