AbstractTrauma-related hemorrhagic shock is a global problem. This study aimed to analyze the knowledge domain and frontiers of trauma-related hemorrhagic shock research through a bibliometric analysis. Articles on trauma-related hemorrhagic shock published between 2012 and 2022 were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection, and a bibliometric analysis was conducted using CiteSpace and VOSviewer. A total of 3116 articles and reviews were analyzed. These publications primarily came from 441 institutions in 80 countries, with the USA having the highest number of publications, followed by China. Among the publications, Ernest E. Moore published the most papers, whereas John B. Holcomb had the most co-citations. The most productive institution was the University of Pittsburgh in the USA. The keyword burst and reference clustering analysis indicated that "reboa," "whole blood," "exsome," "glycocalyx," "endotheliopathy," and "predictor" are new trends and developing areas of interest. With the help of CiteSpace and VOSviewer, this study provides a deeper understanding of the research landscape, frontier hotspots, and future trends in trauma-related hemorrhagic shock over the last decade. "Whole blood" instead of "component therapy" shows potential advantage while "REBOA" is increasingly discussed in rapid hemostasis. This study provides important clues for researchers to understand the knowledge domain and frontiers of this study field.Copyright © 2023 the Author(s). Published by Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
