    AbstractEmergency physicians often experience significant cognitive load and task interruptions in the ED. This combination results in cognitive errors and poor patient outcomes. Quality research about this topic is scarce. Raising awareness of personal thinking processes (metacognition) is one way of reducing the unfavourable impact of task interruptions on cognition.© 2022 Australasian College for Emergency Medicine.
