In recent years the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) has adopted several practice standards that relate directly to the practice of obstetric anesthesia. In addition, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and ASA defined, in a joint statement, both organizations' views on optimal goals for anesthesia care in obstetrics. Ostensibly, those documents and a number of others promulgated by the two professional organizations enhance the safety of patient care. Knowledge of the documents is equally important to the obstetrician and the anesthesiologist since care rendered to the parturient by the two specialists is closely intertwined, and so are their respective fates in case of legal action.
近年来，美国麻醉医师协会（ASA）采用了多项直接与产科麻醉实践相关的执业标准。此外，美国妇产科医师学会和ASA在一份联合声明中明确了两个组织对产科麻醉护理最佳目标的看法。表面上看，这些文件以及这两个专业组织颁布的其他一些文件提高了患者护理的安全性。对于产科医生和麻醉医生来说，了解这些文件同样重要，因为这两位专家为产妇提供的护理紧密相连，在发生法律诉讼时，他们各自的命运也是如此。
