Area of Science:
- Anesthesiology
- Pulmonology
- Bibliometrics
Background:
- Bronchoscopy anesthesia research has evolved significantly over the past 60 years.
- The field has seen substantial growth in publications and citations in recent years.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze developmental trends and research hotspots in bronchoscopy anesthesia.
- To provide insights into the progression and future directions of bronchoscopy anesthesia.
Main Methods:
- Bibliometric analysis of original and review articles from 1975 to June 2021.
- Utilized scientometric tools: CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and Bibliometrix.
- Analyzed publication data, citation counts, H-index, and keyword co-occurrence.
Main Results:
- A total of 1,270 publications were identified, with a notable increase in recent years.

01:30Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy
265
Endoscopy is a non-surgical medical technique used to examine a person's internal organs and vessels. This lesson will focus on two types of endoscopic studies: bronchoscopy and thoracoscopy.
Bronchoscopy
Description
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due...

01:19Respiratory Assessment: Purpose and Indications
1.2K
Respiratory assessment is a cornerstone of nursing assessments, crucial for the early detection of patient deterioration. This evaluation transcends routine procedures, representing a critical skill nurses must master to ensure optimal patient care.
Objectives and Importance:
The primary goal of respiratory assessment is to evaluate patients at early risk of clinical deterioration. Since respiratory distress often precedes other signs of declining health, breathing patterns and sounds become a...

01:26Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis
475
Thoracentesis(Thoracocentesis), commonly known as pleural tap, is a medical procedure where a 22 gauge needle is inserted into the pleural space, the area between the lung and chest wall. This procedure is commonly performed to diagnose or treat various respiratory disorders.
Description
Excess pleural fluid or air may accumulate in some respiratory disorders in the thoracic cavity. To treat pleural effusion, a physician conducts thoracentesis by carefully piercing the chest wall and entering...

01:20Inhalational Anesthetics: Overview
482
Inhalation anesthetics are drugs that induce general anesthesia upon inhalation. They work by increasing the sensitivity of GABAA receptors or inhibiting NMDA receptors, leading to a decrease in central nervous system activity. The depth of anesthesia can be rapidly adjusted by changing the concentration of the inhaled gas. Some common examples of inhalational anesthetics include volatile liquids like isoflurane, desflurane, sevoflurane and gases like xenon and nitrous oxide. Isoflurane, a...

01:29Assessment of Ventilation II: Respiratory Depth and Rhythm
1.7K
Respiratory Depth
Respiratory depth measures the volume of air inhaled or exhaled during a breath. It can vary from shallow to deep and typically remains consistent when a person is at rest or asleep. Occasionally, individuals will automatically inhale deeply, known as sighing, which inflates the lungs with more air than normal breathing.
To assess respiratory depth, observe the degree of chest excursion or movement:

A thorough assessment of respiratory health is paramount in clinical settings to identify and manage respiratory distress and ensure adequate oxygenation. This article elaborates on the critical aspects of respiratory evaluation, including airway assessment, skin color examination, and the observation of accessory muscle use, which are integral to effectively diagnosing and managing patients with respiratory conditions.
