Abstract
A scientometric analysis was used to assess progress in anesthesia monitoring over the last 40 years. There were two scientometric indexes: popularity indexes (general and specific), which measure how many articles are related to a particular topic. Anesthesia or anesthesia monitoring; IC, an index that measures growth in publications on a particular topic; IE, an index that measures how many PubMed-indexed publications are published on a particular topic. We assessed 66 monitoring-related publications. In the past 42 years, anesthesia monitoring articles have increased more than 13-fold, from 652 articles in 1974-1978 to 3,394 articles in 2009-2013. Articles on general anesthetics rose at a much slower rate. Comparison of the related GPIs showed a significant difference: anesthesia monitoring showed stable growth while general anesthesia showed constant declines. In 18 of 48 subjects introduced after 1975, the SPI index increased significantly between 2009 and 2013: Bispectral Index, Transesophageal Echocardiography, Electromyography, Pulse Oximetry, Entropy, Train-of-four, Capnography, Pulse Contour, electromyography monitoring. The IC and IE indexes of only one of these topics were high, suggesting significant progress. In order to balance low safety margins of anesthetic agents, rapid growth in monitoring was critical
