Trend topics in emergency medicine: a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of CPR research

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to comprehensively evaluate the scientific contributions, research trends, and influential studies related to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), a critical life-saving intervention in cases of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). By performing a bibliometric analysis of academic articles published between 1980 and 2023 in the Web of Science (WoS) database, the study seeks to identify key trends, thematic areas, and advancements in CPR research to provide valuable insights for guiding future studies and enhancing emergency medicine practices. Methods: This study conducted a bibliometric analysis of academic articles on CPR published between 1980 and 2023 in the WoS database. A total of 4393 articles were examined to identify trends and contributions to the scientific literature. Various metrics were analyzed, including publication counts, citation rates, leading countries and institutions, prominent researchers, and the most cited studies. Performance analysis, keyword analysis, co-citation analysis, and thematic analyses were performed. Results: The analysis revealed concentrated topics in CPR research and evolving trends over time. The findings showed significant contributions from leading countries, institutions, and researchers. The most cited studies highlighted key areas of focus and advancements in CPR practices. Thematic analysis indicated the major research themes and their development over the decades. Conclusion: This bibliometric analysis provides an in-depth examination of the place and importance of CPR in emergency medicine. It offers a comprehensive perspective on the current state and future directions of CPR research. The findings help us better understand CPR's position in the scientific literature and its contributions to emergency medicine practices. These insights will guide future research directions and enhance scientific contributions to CPR practices in emergency medicine.
