In this trial, our primary goal is to investigate the safety of intravenous infusion of emulsified isoflurane. In order to protect volunteers, the investigators adopt the modified Fibonacci dose-escalation, starting from a very low dose which is derived from the 1/600 of acute LD50 in pre-clinic study. The trial will be terminated if half of volunteers develop severe adverse event in any dose group or any volunteer develop fatal adverse event in any group.

Vital Signs
The vital signs include heart rate, cardiac rhythm, blood pressure, respiratory rate, pulse oxygen saturation, body temperature and end-tidal carbon dioxide. All the parameters are measured at the following time points: 1. before drug infusion, recorded as baseline; 2. every one minute, immediately from drug infusion to 15 min after infusion; 3. every two minutes, from 15 min to 30 min after infusion; 4. every five minutes, from 30 min to 60 min afeter infusion; 5. every one hour, from 1 hour to 4 hours after infusion; 6. 8 hours and 24 hours after infusion.
Time frame: after drug infusion to 24 hours after infusion
Efficacy of emulsified isoflurane as an intravenous anesthetics
This secondary outcome is an observational one only. The response to verbal command, to pain stimulus; and eyelash reflex are tested. The orientation and finger-to-nose test are also tested. The end-tidal partial pressure of isoflurane, observer's assessment of alertness/sedation (modified OAS/S score) and Bispectral index (BIS) are also recored.
Time frame: immediate from drug infusion, up to 24 hours after infusion
