Assessing Cognitive Workload and Performance in the Operating Room: Challenges in Applying NASA‐TLX Among Experienced Surgeons

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Surgical performance and cognitive workload (CWL) are central determinants of operative outcomes. Most prior studies have relied on simulated environments, limiting their clinical relevance. This pilot study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of using the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Task Load Index (NASA‐TLX) to ...
