Summary
Research trends in sepsis fluid management are advancing, with a growing focus on balanced crystalloids and critically ill children. This bibliometric analysis reveals key contributors and evolving research areas.
Area of Science:
- Critical Care Medicine
- Bibliometrics
- Health Sciences
Background:
- Fluid management is crucial for sepsis treatment.
- Understanding research trends aids clinical practice and future studies.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate evolving trends in fluid management for sepsis patients.
- To utilize a bibliometric approach for analyzing research output.
Main Methods:
- Bibliometric analysis of 2,569 publications from Web of Science (WoS) database.
- Utilized R package 'Bibliometrix', VOSviewer, and CiteSpace for analysis.
- Examined institutions, nations, keywords, and citation bursts.
Main Results:
- The United States and China are leading publishers.
- Critical Care and Journal for Intensive Care Medicine are top journals.
- University of California System is the most productive institution.
- Significant citation bursts observed for 'balanced crystalloids' and 'critically ill children'.
Conclusions:
- Research on fluid management in sepsis is a rapidly advancing field.
- There is an increasing emphasis on specific fluid types and patient populations.
