Introduction: ultrasonography is a useful tool during cardiopulmonary resuscitation, however, its analysis from a bibliometric perspective is scarce. Objective: to analyze the scientific production on ultrasound and cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the Scopus database in the period between 2012 and 2021. Methods: a descriptive, retrospective, bibliometric study was conducted on the scientific production on ultrasound and cardiopulmonary resuscitation in journals indexed in Scopus. A Scopus search strategy was used to retrieve the records. The search period was established as 2012 - 2021. Results: the years with the highest productivity were 2020 and 2021 (17.7% both). There was a predominance of original articles (75.1%). The largest number of documents corresponds to the area of Medicine (73.5%). The most productive countries were the United States (Ndoc=49) and China (Ndoc=17). The most productive journals were Critical Care Medicine and Resuscitation. There were 160 authors, 1 with 5 articles, 1 with 4 articles, 10 with 3 articles, 32 with 2 or 2 articles and the rest with 1 article. Conclusions: there is a low scientific production on ultrasound and cardiopulmonary resuscitation in journals indexed in the Scopus database, characterized by the publication of original articles, Medicine as the area with the highest production and journals from developed countries as the most productive. Existence of a small group of very productive authors who publish on this topic.
Introducción: La ecografía está emergiendo en el manejo de la atención del paciente grave en las Unidades de Cuidados Intensivos. Objetivo: describir los beneficios del uso de la ecografía en la atención al paciente grave. Método: se revisaron un total de 51 fuentes en las bases de datos Pubmed, SciELO y Ebsco, durante los meses de enero y febrero de 2022, de las cuales se utilizaron 37 citas en idioma inglés y español, todas de los últimos cinco años. Se utilizaron los términos de búsqueda “ecografía y paciente grave”, “ecografía y Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos”. Desarrollo: múltiples son los usos que se le da a la ecografía en pacientes graves, que incluye la realización de diagnósticos precoces, monitorización y la realización de procedimientos y técnicas, no obstante el principal objetivo de su uso en estos pacientes es permitir un mejor y más precoz manejo terapeútico. Conclusiones: la ecografía es útil en la atención al paciente grave y todas sus modalidades son muy útiles en la Unidades de Cuidados Intensivos, tanto para ayudar a tomar decisiones, como para guiar la realización de procedimientos.
