Narrative:

I was the manual controller at the sector. While handling an imminent life-threatening emergency I neglected to notice an aircraft entering an adjacent center's airspace. I performed a late handoff on the aircraft. No loss of separation occurred. The late handoff was discovered in a tape review conducted by quality assurance while investigating the emergency flight assist. Corrective actions are still to be determined.
