Emergence agitation (EA) is a behavioural disturbance encountered during the recovery phase of patients following general anaesthesia. It is characterised by restlessness, involuntary limb movements, and drainage tube withdrawal and may significantly harm patients and medical staff. The mechanism of EA has not been fully understood and is still a challenging subject for researchers.
We extracted relevant publications published between 1 January 2001 and 31 December 2023 on the Web of Science Core Collection platform. VOSviewer software was utilised to analyse the retrieved literature and predict the development trends and hotspots in the field.
The results show that the number of publications grew annually, with China contributing the most, followed by the United States and South Korea. The co-occurrence of keywords "children," "propofol," "risk factors" are current research hotspots. Owing to its self-limiting and short-duration characteristics, EA lacks standardised clinical time guidelines and objective assessment tools, which may be the focus of future research in this field.
Understanding the research hotspots and the latest progress in this field, this study will help to continuously improve the clinical understanding and management of EA, and help to timely identify environmental risk factors for EA in clinical practice.
苏醒期躁动（EA）是全身麻醉后患者恢复阶段出现的一种行为紊乱。其特征为烦躁不安、肢体不自主运动以及拔除引流管，可能对患者和医护人员造成严重伤害。EA的机制尚未完全明确，仍是研究人员面临的一个具有挑战性的课题。
我们在科学网核心合集平台上提取了2001年1月1日至2023年12月31日期间发表的相关出版物。利用VOSviewer软件对检索到的文献进行分析，预测该领域的发展趋势和热点。
结果表明，出版物数量逐年增长，中国贡献最多，其次是美国和韩国。关键词“儿童”“丙泊酚”“危险因素”的共现是当前的研究热点。由于EA具有自限性和持续时间短的特点，缺乏标准化的临床时间指南和客观评估工具，这可能是该领域未来研究的重点。
了解该领域的研究热点和最新进展，本研究将有助于不断提高对EA的临床认识和管理水平，并有助于在临床实践中及时识别EA的环境危险因素。
