Background:
Emergence agitation (EA) is a behavioural disturbance encountered during the recovery phase of patients following general anaesthesia. It is characterised by restlessness, involuntary limb movements, and drainage tube withdrawal and may significantly harm patients and medical staff. The mechanism of EA has not been fully understood and is still a challenging subject for researchers.
Methods:
We extracted relevant publications published between 1 January 2001 and 31 December 2023 on the Web of Science Core Collection platform. VOSviewer software was utilised to analyse the retrieved literature and predict the development trends and hotspots in the field.
Results:
The results show that the number of publications grew annually, with China contributing the most, followed by the United States and South Korea. The co-occurrence of keywords "children," "propofol," "risk factors" are current research hotspots. Owing to its self-limiting and short-duration characteristics, EA lacks standardised clinical time guidelines and objective assessment tools, which may be the focus of future research in this field.
Conclusions:
Understanding the research hotspots and the latest progress in this field, this study will help to continuously improve the clinical understanding and management of EA, and help to timely identify environmental risk factors for EA in clinical practice.
