Anesthetic management of a cesarean section in a patient with schizophrenia receiving a large amount of antipsychotic agents

: We experienced perioperative management of a patient with schizophrenia who had been taking a large amount of antipsychotic agents until the cesarean section. A 31-year-old woman in 38th week gestation with schizophrenia underwent a cesarean section. Anesthesia was maintained with light plane of general anesthesia combined with epidural anesthesia. Perioperatively, the mother experienced no complications and the baby only developed slight generalized tremor and hypotonus for a short period after delivery.
