Volatile anesthetics affect more than anesthetic depth.
Isoflurane produces dose-dependent coronary vasodilation and has demonstrated myocardial preconditioning effects in experimental and clinical research. That does not mean it can overcome inadequate coronary perfusion pressure, severe stenosis, tachycardia, or excessive hypotension.
A potentially protective anesthetic effect still depends on the physiology surrounding it.
Coronary perfusion pressure remains undefeated.

Some patients are using every bit of their venous return just to remain compensated.
Hypovolemia, RV dysfunction, and tamponade physiology can make the transition to positive-pressure ventilation especially dangerous. Removing spontaneous negative-pressure breathing may be enough to precipitate severe hypotension or cardiovascular collapse.
Before induction, ask:
How dependent is this patient on preload?
What will happen when intrathoracic pressure rises?
What is my plan if the blood pressure disappears?
Airway management begins with anticipating the physiology.

Positive-pressure ventilation is also a hemodynamic intervention.
As intrathoracic pressure rises, the pressure gradient driving venous return decreases. Most patients tolerate that shift. A patient who is hypovolemic, preload dependent, or already struggling with RV function may not.
If the blood pressure drops after intubation, do not look only at the induction medications. Ventilation, PEEP, auto-PEEP, and increasing RV afterload may all be contributing.
The ventilator changes more than the SpO₂.
