Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) stands as a primary cause of mortality among critically ill patients. Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is increasingly employed in the rescue therapy of ARDS patients. However, the current status of research in the field of ECMO-assisted ARDS remains unclear.
This research aims to categorize and evaluate the literature regarding Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) support for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), offering a comprehensive analysis of bibliometric properties, research hotspots, and developmental trends within the domain of ECMO-assisted ARDS.
A literature search was conducted for ECMO-assisted support for patients with ARDS in the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database from 2014 to 2024. We employed visualization tools such as CiteSpace and VOSviewer to explore and assess connections among nations, institutions, researchers, and co-cited journals, authors, references, and keywords.
This study included 1739 publications. The United States leads in publication volume with Columbia University at the forefront of ECMO research. Intensive Care Medicine has been identified as the most cited journal in this field. Alain Combes from France stands out as a key contributor, particularly in his 2018 publication in the New England Journal of Medicine, which is the most cited work in the discipline. Furthermore, keyword analysis identified three distinct research phases: examining complications associated with ECMO therapy, exploring optimal strategies for mechanical ventilation under ECMO support, and compiling insights into the application of ECMO in treating COVID-19 patients and in the development of predictive models for patient outcomes.
Using bibliometric visualization techniques, this study revealed significant progress in the use of ECMO for treating ARDS respiratory support, evaluated the impact of these findings, and outlined potential areas for future studies.
急性呼吸窘迫综合征（ARDS）是危重症患者死亡的主要原因之一。体外膜肺氧合（ECMO）在ARDS患者的抢救治疗中应用越来越广泛。然而，ECMO辅助治疗ARDS领域的研究现状仍不明确。
本研究旨在对关于体外膜肺氧合（ECMO）支持急性呼吸窘迫综合征（ARDS）的文献进行分类和评估，全面分析ECMO辅助治疗ARDS领域的文献计量学特征、研究热点和发展趋势。
在Web of Science核心合集（WoSCC）数据库中检索2014年至2024年期间ECMO辅助支持ARDS患者的文献。我们使用CiteSpace和VOSviewer等可视化工具来探索和评估国家、机构、研究人员以及共被引期刊、作者、参考文献和关键词之间的联系。
本研究纳入了1739篇出版物。美国在出版物数量上领先，哥伦比亚大学处于ECMO研究的前沿。《重症医学》被确定为该领域被引用最多的期刊。法国的阿兰·孔贝斯是关键贡献者，特别是他2018年发表在《新英格兰医学杂志》上的文章，是该学科被引用最多的作品。此外，关键词分析确定了三个不同的研究阶段：研究与ECMO治疗相关的并发症，探索ECMO支持下机械通气的最佳策略，以及汇总ECMO在治疗COVID-19患者中的应用见解和患者预后预测模型的开发。
本研究使用文献计量可视化技术，揭示了ECMO用于治疗ARDS呼吸支持方面的重大进展，评估了这些研究结果的影响，并概述了未来研究的潜在领域。
