Systematic review of measurement tools to assess surgeons' intraoperative cognitive workload

ConclusionSelf‐report instruments are valuable when the aim is to assess the overall cognitive load in different surgical procedures and assess learning curves within competence‐based surgical education. When the aim is to assess cognitive load related to specific operative stages, real‐time tools should be used, as they allow capture of cognitive load fluctuation. A combination of both subjective and objective methods might provide optimal measurement of surgeons' cognition.
