Abstract:
Objective:To discuss the current status, research hotspots, and developmental trends in the field of oncology anesthesiology on an international scale using bibliometric methods.Methods:We employed keywords such as "Propofol, " "Opioid, " "*flurane, " "Nitrous oxide, " "General Anesthesia, " "Local Anesthesia, " "Epidural Anesthesia, " "Nerve Block, " "Anesthesia, " "Pain relief, " and "Tumor" to retrieve literature related to oncology anesthesia from the Web of Science Core Collection(WoSCC).The search was limited to publications from the inception of the database up to August 18, 2023.We utilized tools including VOSviewer(version 1.6.19), Scimago Graphica, and R-bibliometrix to visualize publishing trends, national output and collaboration, keyword analysis, and scientific categories within this field.Additionally, CiteSpace(version 6.2.R3)was employed to conduct analyses of co-citations, citation burst detection, and dual map overlay.Results:A total of 12, 832 publications were included in this analysis, demonstrating a continuous increase in annual publications.The United States(29.7%, 3, 814 articles)and China(20.5%, 2, 635 articles)emerged as the leading countries in terms of high-quality publications, with particularly close collaboration observed between the two nations.In terms of global scientific categories, research predominantly focused on 'Biology and Medicine' and 'Psychology and Social Sciences.' Co-citation analysis identified the most prominent cluster as 'breast cancer.' Citation bursts and highly cited literature illustrated the developmental trajectory of knowledge in oncology anesthesiology, evolving from the relief of cancer pain to understanding the impact of anesthesia on tumor surgeries and patient prognosis.The three most frequently occurring keywords were 'patient'(1, 620 occurrences), 'effect'(1, 314 occurrences), and 'pain'(729 occurrences), indicating that research concentrated on cancer pain management and the evaluation of treatment effectiveness.Conclusions:The publication concerning tumor anesthesia is experiencing rapid growth, with the United States at the forefront of this field, followed by China in a secondary position.The interdisciplinary nature of this field is apparent, as it has its foundations in biology and medicine while gradually expanding into psychology and social sciences.Major research themes in oncology anesthesiology include the exploration of anesthetic drugs aimed at alleviating pain associated with cancer and the application of anesthesia in tumor surgery.
