Non-volatile general anesthetics are advantageously provided to patients in aerosolized form using a metered dose inhaler. The anesthetics are highly lipophilic in character and are rapidly absorbed through the nasal, oral, and lung mucosa. Experiments have shown that propofol is readily soluble in hydrofluorocarbon propellants without the use of surfactants and co-solvents. The solubility allows for the controlled delivery of concentrated pure anesthetic agents like propofol to the airway mucosa of human and animal patients to cause rapid onset of sedation or anesthesia without the requirement of prior intravenous access.

Il est avantageux d'administrer à des patients des anesthésiques généraux non volatils sous forme d'aérosols, au moyen d'un inhalateur dosé. Les anesthésiques sont d'un caractère fortement lipophile, et sont rapidement absorbés par les muqueuses nasale, buccale et pulmonaire. Des expériences ont démontré que le propofol est aisément soluble dans les agents propulseurs aux hydrofluorocarbures, sans que l'on ait recours aux agents tensioactifs ni aux cosolvants. Leur solubilité permet l'administration lente d'agents anesthésiques purs concentrés, tels que le propofol, à la muqueuse des voies respiratoires de patients humains ou animaux, pour provoquer un début rapide de sédation ou d'anesthésie sans la nécessité d'un accès intraveineux préalable.
