Kimberly Salas Fuentes

Advanced practice nurse specializing in anesthesia, with over thirteen years of experience in the healthcare field. Throughout my professional career, I have worked in both the operating room and the emergency department, participating in a wide range of surgical procedures and the management of critical situations. In the surgical setting, I have collaborated in general, orthopedic, cardiovascular, and ambulatory surgeries, ensuring safe and effective patient management. In the emergency department, I have been involved in high-acuity cases, including trauma, acute medical emergencies, and the care of patients in cardiopulmonary arrest, where sound clinical judgment and rapid response are essential. I am recognized for maintaining advanced skills in airway management and the care of critically ill patients, always prioritizing patient safety and hemodynamic stability. I am committed to continuous education as a fundamental component of my professional growth and value interdisciplinary teamwork as a key element in delivering high-quality patient care.
