Massive obstetric hemorrhage is a leading cause of maternal morbidity, especially in placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) cases. We report the anesthetic management of a 38-year-old woman undergoing emergency cesarean section complicated by hemorrhage exceeding 13 liters. Preoperative planning included risk assessment, blood product preparation, and a multidisciplinary approach. Intraoperatively, anesthesia was managed with combined neuraxial and general techniques, continuous hemodynamic monitoring, and a guided massive transfusion protocol. Despite the need for hysterectomy and complex surgical interventions, the patient's hemodynamics were stabilized, and she recovered without major complications. This case emphasizes the importance of individualized anesthesia strategies, proactive transfusion planning, and teamwork in managing high-risk obstetric emergencies. It illustrates how meticulous anesthetic management can improve outcomes in massive hemorrhage scenarios and provides a practical framework for clinicians facing similar high-stakes cesarean deliveries.
