Although not common, general anesthesia may be required in section cesarean due to a maternal contraindication. Opioids are typically utilized as analgetic in general anesthesia. It is customary to restrict the use of opioids and fetal narcotic exposure during cesarean deliveries due to the side effects on the mother and the fetus. We present a successful case of multimodal opioid-free general anesthesia for cesarean birth in patients with help syndrome.
