Based physical and laboratory findings the patients diagnosed eclampsia and HELLP syndrome. The patient was given general anesthesia with induction of propofol 2 mg/kg with a rapid bolus, rocuronium 1 mg/kg IV, and fentanyl 2 mcg/kg with endotracheal intubation. During surgery, the patient was hemodynamically stable and the baby was born with an Apgar score of 9/10. The patient was admitted to the ICU for vital signs monitoring for 4 days before being discharged after the sixth day. Result: Patients with eclampsia and HELLP syndrome require careful anesthetic management because it not only impacts maternal condition, but also the outcome of the neonates.
