Anesthesiology is the medical specialty concerned with the total perioperative care of patients before, during, and after surgery. It encompasses anesthesia, intensive care medicine, critical emergency medicine, and pain medicine. Anesthesiologists are primarily responsible for monitoring the patient’s vital signs during surgery. In addition to basic measurements such as pulse, blood pressure, and temperature, they measure the patient’s respiration and make critical adjustments to the anesthesia while closely communicating with the surgical team.
Rhode Island Hospital is the state’s largest hospital and its only Level I trauma center and verified burn center. The principal teaching hospital of The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, the facility provides comprehensive diagnostic and treatment services as well as expertise in cancer treatment, cardiology, emergency medicine, neurosciences, orthopedics, and more.

After her education, Dr. Cahill attained board certification in anesthesiology through the American Board of Anesthesiology (ABA).
