Anesthesiology

Androscoggin Valley Hospital’s specialty practice, AVH Surgical Associates, meets the anesthesia needs of its patients by providing the following services:

General to regional anesthesia
Continuous epidurals for surgery and labor pain
Pain management services including lumbar epidural steroid injections
Mitigation techniques for post-operative nausea
Use of brain-wave imaging during surgical procedures
Services for all ages from pediatrics to the elderly
Pre-operative anesthesia consultations

AVH’s Avance Carestation can be used safely to provide anesthesia to patients of all sizes, from a premature infant to a patient weighing over 600 pounds—electronically, without the need to modify the machine between patient use. The Avance checks itself 200 times per second to ensure that the Carestation is always delivering the proper blend based on its programming.

Anesthesia services are provided by Luc Corriveau, DNP, APRN, Chief CRNA, Pamela Bouley, CRNA, Diane Demers-Dube, CRNA, Sephra Ledger, CRNA, and Noretta Peterson, CRNA.

“I was very satisfied with my care at AVH during my recent surgery. The anesthesiologist was sensitive to the issues I had. Thanks to everyone for the wonderful care.”
