Visual analysis of research literature on traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of respiratory failure
Objective To further understand the current research status,hotspots and development trends of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)in the treatment of respiratory failure,and to provide references for re-lated research.Methods A search was conducted on CNKI,Wanfang data and VIP databases to collect rele-vant literature on the treatment of respiratory failure with TCM published up to October 1,2023.VOSviewer 1.6.18,NoteExpress 3.9.0.9588,and Excel 2019 software were used to statistically analyze the number of publications,published journals,core authors,and keywords,and to visually display the core authors and key-words.Results A total of 689 papers were included in the final analysis.The journal with the highest num-ber of publications was Journal of Emergency in Traditional Chinese Medicine,with 46 papers.The core author Han Yun published a total of 7 papers in this field.Co-occurrence and cluster analysis of keywords revealed that research hotspots focused on respiratory failure,chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,integrated tradi-tional Chinese and western medicine therapy,mechanical ventilation,pulmonary function,and clinical efficacy.Conclusion Research on the treatment of respiratory failure with TCM is increasing in popularity and has good development prospects.However,there is a lack of collaboration among research teams.It is recommen-ded to strengthen academic exchanges among research teams and increase the conduct of various clinical trials to provide better clinical treatment options for respiratory failure.
