Abstract
= 15) measured workload in simulated setting. Task difficulty and expertise were the most studied factors. Studies consistently showed surgeon's eye movements such as pupil responses, gaze patterns, blinks were associated with the level of perceived workload. However, differences between measurements in operational room and simulated environments have been found.ConclusionPupil responses, blink rate and gaze indices are valid indicators of workload. However, the effect of distractions and non-technical factors on workload is underrepresented aspect in the literature even though recognized as underlying factors in successful surgery.
