    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Obstetrics
    • Perinatology

    Background:

    • HELLP syndrome, a severe form of toxemia of pregnancy, presents with hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet count.
    • Anesthetic management for cesarean section in patients with HELLP syndrome requires careful consideration of multi-organ dysfunction.

    Observation:

    • A 30-year-old female with HELLP syndrome underwent emergency cesarean section under general anesthesia.
    • Anesthesia involved awake orotracheal intubation, maintained with nitrous oxide, oxygen, and muscle relaxants, with blood pressure managed by nitroglycerin.

    Findings:

    • Despite recurrent eclampsia episodes during and post-operation, the patient and neonate experienced no complications or sequelae.
    • Successful anesthetic management focused on controlling hypertension and eclampsia, addressing liver/kidney dysfunction, and managing anemia and bleeding tendencies.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the feasibility of achieving favorable outcomes in HELLP syndrome patients undergoing cesarean delivery with meticulous anesthetic care.
    • Effective anesthetic strategies are crucial for mitigating risks associated with HELLP syndrome during obstetric surgery.
