“…In order to maximize the complete download of the global anesthesia department output, we use keywords in seven languages (English, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish) to conduct our search using authors' affiliation-addresses present in the SCIE database, and the represented departments which published papers were analyzed. Based on the research on the history of anesthesiology, the classical use of anaesthesiology (US: anesthesiology) or anaesthesia (US: anesthesia) to describe the specialty of anesthesiologists ( 25 , 26 ); so we used anesthes * , anaesthes * , anesthés * , anästhes * , and anestes * as the keywords for search. The symbol “ * ” is a placeholder for retrieving all search items that start with the preceding text.…”

Academic Publication of Anesthesiology From a Bibliographic Perspective From 1999 to 2018: Comparative Analysis Using Subject-Field Dataset and Department Dataset

Background: Publication activity in the field of anesthesiology informs decisions that enhance academic advancement. Most previous bibliometric studies on anesthesiology examined data limited to journals focused on anesthesiology rather than data answerable to authors in anesthesia departments. This study comprehensively explored publication trends in the field of anesthesiology and their impact. We hypothesized that anesthesiology's bibliometric scene would differ based on whether articles in the same study period were published in anesthesiology-focused journals or were produced by authors in anesthesia departments but published in non-specialty journals.Methods: This cross-sectional study used bibliometric data from the Science Citation Index Expanded database between 1999 and 2018. Two datasets were assembled. The first dataset was a subject-dataset (articles published in 31 journals in the anesthesiology category of InCites Journal Citation Reports in 2018); the second dataset was the department-dataset (articles published in the Science Citation Index Expanded by authors in anesthesia departments). We captured the bibliographical record of each article in both datasets and noted each article's Institute for Scientific Information code, publication year, title, abstract, author addresses, subject category, and references for further study.Results: A total of 69,593 articles were published—cited 1,497,932 times—in the subject-dataset; a total of 167,501 articles were published—cited 3,731,540 times—in the department-dataset. The results demonstrate differences between the two datasets. First, the number of articles was stagnant, with little growth (average annual growth rate = 0.31%) in the subject-dataset; whereas there was stable growth (average annual growth rate = 4.50%) in articles in the department-dataset. Second, only 30.4% of anesthesia department articles were published in anesthesiology journals. Third, journals related to “pain” had the lowest department-subject ratio, which was attributable to a large portion of non-anesthesia department researchers' participation in related research.Conclusions: This study showed that articles published in anesthesiology-focused and non-specialty journals demonstrate fundamentally different trends. Thus, it not only helps researchers develop a more comprehensive understanding of the current publication status and trends in anesthesiology, but also provides a basis for national academic organizations to frame relevant anesthesiology development policies and rationalize resource allocation.

“…The earliest known English definition of the word 'anaisthesia' is: "Anaisthesia in defect of sensation, as in paralytick and blasted persons." This definition appeared in the first edition (1684) of A Physical Dictionary, an English translation of Steven Blankaart's medical dictionary, Lexicon Medicum Graeco-Latinum (first edition, 1679) 4 .…”

“…The introduction of chloroform may have spurred the acceptance of 'anaesthesia' as a generic term for the state of insensibility produced by the inhalation of certain vapours and gases. Although Holmes was the first to suggest the new application of the word 'anaesthesia', it was Simpson's adoption of the word together with his reputation as one of the leading physicians that ensured the acceptance of the new name 4 .…”

The word ‘anesthesiology’ was coined in 1902 by Mathias J. Seifert, MD, of Chicago, Illinois. Seifert was an accomplished musician before he commenced his medical training. After graduation in 1901 he held academic positions in medicine and gynaecology before being appointed Professor of Physical Diagnosis and Anesthesiology at the College of Dentistry, University of Illinois. He was later appointed Professor of Surgery at the Chicago Hospital College of Medicine.

“…Anesthesia is defined as using drugs or other methods to make the patients loss of physical sensation, with or without loss of consciousness, in order to achieve the purpose of painless, so as to meet the further surgery, examination, treatment and other traumatic exercise. [ 1 , 2 ] Because of the different anatomy and physiology in children, their anesthesia management is unique. [ 3 ] Although today anesthetic drugs and techniques can meet the needs of surgical anesthesia, there is still some problems like delirium and anxiety.…”

Pediatric anesthesia is one of the most concerning topics in our society. However, there is still a lack of a comprehensive overview of the research base and of future trends. This study aimed to guide beginners quickly learn the academic research on pediatric anesthesia and do their own studies by analyzing the articles of this field in the latest 21 years through bibliometric analysis. Literature scanning was conducted with the Web of Science database. Microsoft Excel, SPSS, VOSviewer, and CiteSpace were in this review. There was an increasing trend of articles on pediatric anesthesia, based on the analysis of 11,591 included articles. The top 3 most productive countries were the United States of America (4538), Canada (730) and Turkey (688). The most productive institutions were Boston Childrens hospital, Childrens Hospital Philadelphia and Ohio State University. Tobias, Joseph D (141), Kim, Hee-Soo (40) and Curley, Martha A Q (38) were the most active authors. Habre W (2017), Gross JB (2002) and Cravero JP (2009) are the articles cited more than 100 times during the analysis years. Anesthesia and Analgesia, Anesthesiology, Pediatric Anesthesia, were the core journals in this field. Cohort, simulation, sleep, postoperative complication are strongest burst keywords in recent years. This article summarizes the authoritative institutions, authors, literatures and frontier hotspots on pediatric anesthesia. Itwill be a valuable literature review and help beginners to quickly get started in the field, reduce unnecessary clueless and aimless learning, and greatly improve learning efficiency.
