Characterization of Global Research Trends and Prospects on Prone Positioning in Respiratory Failure: Bibliometric Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Prone positioning has emerged as a crucial intervention in managing acute respiratory failure, especially in acute respiratory distress syndrome and patients with COVID-19. Given the increasing interest in this field, it is important to characterize global research trends and key contributors to identify future research directions.

Objective

This study aimed to analyze global research trends, collaboration networks, and research hotspots related to prone positioning in respiratory failure through a comprehensive bibliometric analysis.

Methods

Bibliometric analyses were conducted using CiteSpace and Biblioshiny software on publications up to December 31, 2023, from the Web of Science Core Collection, focusing on prone positioning in respiratory failure.
