A study of mechanical ventilation in the ICU after cardiac surgery: a bibliometric analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

After cardiac surgery, patients are often admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) due to various preoperative factors and continue to receive mechanical ventilation. This study sought to conduct a bibliometric analysis to summarize studies on mechanical ventilation among postoperative ICU patients who had undergone cardiac surgery.

Methods

We searched the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-E) database using the following terms: "cardiac surgery (Topic)", "intensive care (Topic)" and "ventilation (Topic)". The search results were analyzed using R software. The analysis examined the number of publications of relevant articles and the annual change trend, the number of times an article was cited and the annual change trend, the distribution of countries conductin
