Isn't the M-Value more to do controlling the relationship between tissue pressure and ambient pressure rather than the inert gas pressure? Changing ambient pressure is going to have a corresponding effect on the inert gas pressure as well, but given that you can also change the inert gas pressure by changing the amount of N2 in the mix, my understanding was it was mainly about the ambient...
