I work full time as an independent/autonomous practice CRNA and have a special interest in regional anesthesia, particularly peripheral nerve blocks. If I do not know the answer, I will find it for you.

 I am able to answer most questions involving anesthesiology, including the life of a CRNA. I wouldn't feel comfortable answering questions involving cardiac surgery as I do not do cardiac cases, but otherwise I have experience.

 (U.S.) Board-Certified anesthesiologist also certified in Advanced Cardiac Life Support and Pediatric Advanced Life Support. I can answer questions related and specific to clinical anesthesia issues, problems, concerns and methods--both pediatric and adult. This includes matters that are strictly anesthesia in nature and also in other related medical specialties that impact various patient management decisions (e.g. asthmatic undergoing surgery) during or around the time of an anesthetic. I can answer questions about becoming a physician and specifically an anesthesiologist, and practicing anesthesiology. I am not a researcher or academic, so questions so-related are for someone else. I can tell you what a nightmare government involvement in medicine has been and will continue to be as it escalates.

James,  I'm not familiar with intraosseous infusion. I'm not a dentist.     So I really do not have any idea as to what type of anesthesia you need since I have no idea what your dentist is planning.
