title: [Key points for success of the system for labor pain management from my experience at two institutions].
abstract: A personal opinion about the labor pain management was presented from my experience in Japanese and French institutions of obstetric anesthesia. Establishment of obstetric anesthesia as a specialized field is the primary goal. However, the author has an impression that one of the solutions to the problem of manpower or emergency service is the close interaction between the department of anesthesia located at the surgical operating room and the obstetric ward rather than being separated especially in Japan. Flexible management system is necessary for successful service of epidural analgesia for labor pain.
