Abstract

Objective: To examine the historical significance, current trends, impact assessment, prominent authors, participating institutions, and sources of funding, among other aspects, through scholarly articles.
Methodology: The emergency medicine and ultrasound-guided intubation (EMUGI)-related publications were extracted from the Scopus database. Relevant search terms were built using the MeSH database. Lotka's law for productivity, Bradford's law for literary sources, thematic mapping for intellectual structure, and developing themes were used in analysis.
Results: With more scholarly activity and a spike in interest following 2014, EMUGI research has seen a notable expansion. Cooperative efforts and international partnerships were seen with Canada and Spain. Lotka's law analysis showed that although many writers publish only one article for EMUGI research, a small number of well-known writers contribute significantly. Bradford's law draws attention to a concentrated publishing scene, including a core group of esteemed journals. Highly referenced papers in EMUGI research covered a range of subjects, thus demonstrating their influence. Keywords that were particularly relevant in emergency medicine include "ultrasound," "ultrasonography," and "COVID-19." The thematic development of EMUGI research revealed changing priorities and newly arising subjects, including bleeding, prenatal diagnosis, and cardiac arrest.
Conclusion: Thematic mapping aggregates the study participants Ultimately, EMUGI research grew significantly, underlining cooperative efforts, important publications, and developing research topics.

Key words: Bibliometric analysis, critical care, emergency medicine, intubation, prenatal diagnosis, ultrasound.
