Core Tip
Core Tip: Anesthesia management for elderly patients undergoing gastroenteroscopy is complex due to physiological changes and increased risks of complications. This study offered a bibliometric analysis of 800 articles (2004-2023), identifying key research trends. The United States and China were the leading contributors. Key areas for future research included: (1) Sedation safety with propofol and midazolam; (2) Airway management with a focus on obstructive sleep apnea; (3) Risk factors for complications and mortality; (4) Colorectal cancer examination and treatment; and (5) Patient satisfaction. These insights will guide anesthesiologists toward more evidence-based practices for improved safety and outcomes in elderly patients.
