Karen Kruse, DNP, CRNA

As a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, I have cared for patients ranging from newborns to the very elderly in all settings in which anesthesia is provided. My focus during the most recent years has been on pediatric anesthesia, with additional training in anesthesia for the congenital heart patient. I have cared for numerous complex pediatric patients and achieve great satisfaction from managing these cases and delivering the patients safely back to their families. My prior experience is with a private practice anesthesia group, and I look forward to transitioning to an academic setting where I will be interacting more frequently with learners and participating in innovative care plans.
