Objective:To provide reference for future research based on bibliometric analysis on research status and developing trend of the application of ultrasonography for insertion of naso-intestinal tubes in China.Methods:All published literatures on the application of ultrasonography for insertion of naso-intestinal tubes were retrieved from CNKI, Wanfang Database, CBM and VIP before September 2019.Results:A total of 54 effective literatures were included and published in 40 Chinese journals and the number of literatures increased year by year. The core journals accounted for 57.41% and the fund literature accounted for 25.93% of the total literature. Experimental and quasi-experimental studies, accounted for 88.89% of the total literature. The main subjects were adult critically ill patients, accounting for 98.15%. The main research contents of the included studies were ultrasound-guided naso-intestinal tube placement and ultrasonic naso-intestinal tube localization.Conclusions:Studies on the ultrasonography for insertion of naso-intestinal tubes in China is still in its initial stage and are developing rapidly. While the distribution of the research area is unbalanced, the depth and scope of the studies are not enough, and the research types and contents are relatively limited. In the future, it is necessary to carry out multicenter and large sample research, combine quantitative research with qualitative research, pay more attention to the application of nasal-intestinal tube in critically ill children to broaden the breadth and scope of the research content.
