"Who is breathing for me while I am asleep?"

It is a thought that makes many patients understandably nervous, but protecting your airway is our most profound responsibility. Under general anesthesia, the powerful medications that keep you completely unaware and pain-free also relax all the muscles in your bodyโ€”including your diaphragm and the natural reflexes that protect your lungs.

Because you cannot protect your own airway while you sleep, your Nurse Anesthesiologist steps in to do it for you. We use highly advanced, gentle techniques to secure your airway, and state-of-the-art ventilators to deliver the precise mixture of oxygen your body needs with every single breath.

While the mountains and interior get a lot of attention this time of year, there is nothing quite like a quiet October drive down Maine's Route 1!

As the summer crowds head home, the coastal towns get a little quieter, the ocean air gets crisper, and the fall colors pop against the water. Whether you are grabbing a warm coffee in Camden or driving the quiet stretch up to Machias, our Nurse Anesthesiologists love calling this beautiful state home.

What is your favorite coastal town to visit in the fall?

October in Maine means it is officially apple-picking season! ๐ŸŽ From Honeycrisps to McIntoshes, local orchards across the state are currently packed with families making the most of the autumn weather. Protecting our team's time outside the OR means our Nurse Anesthesiologists actually get to enjoy these classic Maine weekends with their own families. Have a great week!

"Will I be asleep if I need a C-Section?"

For the vast majority of Cesarean deliveries, the answer is no! We want you to be awake to meet your baby. Your Nurse Anesthesiologist will typically use a spinal or epidural to completely numb your lower body. You won't feel any sharp pain, but you will be wide awake, breathing on your own, and ready to hear that very first cry! ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿผ

"Can I please just have my morning coffee before surgery?"

If your Nurse Anesthesiologist gave you the green light to drink clear liquids up to two hours before your arrival time, then maybeโ€”but it must be black! The moment you add a splash of milk, cream, or almond milk, it officially counts as solid food and can delay or cancel your surgery for safety reasons. When in doubt, keep it clear! Always verify with your Nurse Anesthesiologist beforehand.

You see us use the title Nurse Anesthesiologist (CRNA) constantly, but what does it actually take to earn it?

Every provider at True North Anesthesia started as a Registered Nurse, spent years managing the most critical patients in the ICU, and then completed a rigorous, multi-year advanced anesthesia degree program. By the time a CRNA is sitting at the head of your bed in the operating room, they have thousands of hours of elite clinical training under their belt. When you are with us, you are with the airway and anesthesia experts!
