Smith’s execution by “nitrogen hypoxia” took around 22 minutes, according to media witnesses, who were led into a viewing room at the William C Holman correctional facility in Atmore shortly before 8 pm local time.

Then the question is whether the seizures would wake one from a nitrogen knockout. ie would one be aware of the seizures?

Based on my limited experience with seizures, the oncoming of one can wake one up, but after that they seem to knock one out... so if one was already knocked out in advance, I don't think they would wake them up?
