OBJECTIVE: This study explores the emerging trends and hot topics concerning applications on electrical impedance tomography (EIT) in clinical lung monitoring. METHODS: Publications on EIT applications in clinical lung monitoring in 2001-2021 were extracted from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC). The search strategy was "electrical impedance tomography" and "lung." CiteSpace, a VOS viewer was used to study the citation characteristics, cooperation, and keyword co-occurrence. Moreover, co-cited reference clustering, structural variation analysis (SVA), and future research trends were presented. RESULTS: (105 publications, cited frequency 2,056), and Inéz Frerichs (116 articles, cited frequency 3,609) were the institution, journal, and author with the largest number of article citations in the research field. "Electrical impedance tomography" (occurrences, 304), "mechanical ventilation" (occurrences, 99), and "acute respiratory distress syndrome" (occurrences, 67) were the top most three frequent keywords, "noninvasive monitoring" (Avg, pub, year: 2008.17), and "extracorporeal membrane oxygenation" (Avg, pub, year: 2019.60) were the earliest and latest keywords. The keywords "electrical impedance tomography" (strength 7.88) and co-cited reference "Frerichs I, 2017, THORAX" (strength 47.45) had the highest burst value. "Driving pressure," "respiratory failure," and "titration" are the three keywords still maintaining a high brush value until now. The largest and smalles...
