I can tell you, from my expierence, propofol is awful for txport purposes.  
It works quite well in a nice quite ICU where it can be titrated effectively, 
but once a pt. is moved around, coupled with the inherent noise issues of a 
helicopter, fixed wing, or even ground ambulance it becomes ineffective.  Also, 
its quite viscous and our minimed pumps do not seem to agree with it.  We don't 
carry it, but run in to it often on interfacility txports.  I generally use 
versed and vecuronium for the duration of our txprt.  Just my two cents.
