In a preliminary investigation, halothane dissolved in a 20% fat emulsion (Intralipid®) was administered intravenously to chloralose‐anaesthetized cats. A dose‐related mixed expiratory concentration of halothane was encountered. The cardiovascular adaptation to i.v. halothane was in agreement with previous reports on haemodynamics during inhalation of halothane. Animal experimental applications for i.v. halothane administration are suggested, while the usefulness of the technique in man remains to be ascertained.
