Introduction: ultrasonography is a useful tool during cardiopulmonary resuscitation, however, its analysis from a bibliometric perspective is scarce.
Objective: to analyze the scientific production on ultrasound and cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the Scopus database in the period between 2012 and 2021.
Methods: a descriptive, retrospective, bibliometric study was conducted on the scientific production on ultrasound and cardiopulmonary resuscitation in journals indexed in Scopus. A Scopus search strategy was used to retrieve the records. The search period was established as 2012 - 2021.
Results: the years with the highest productivity were 2020 and 2021 (17.7% both). There was a predominance of original articles (75.1%). The largest number of documents corresponds to the area of Medicine (73.5%). The most productive countries were the United States (Ndoc=49) and China (Ndoc=17). The most productive journals were Critical Care Medicine and Resuscitation. There were 160 authors, 1 with 5 articles, 1 with 4 articles, 10 with 3 articles, 32 with 2 or 2 articles and the rest with 1 article.
Conclusions: there is a low scientific production on ultrasound and cardiopulmonary resuscitation in journals indexed in the Scopus database, characterized by the publication of original articles, Medicine as the area with the highest production and journals from developed countries as the most productive. Existence of a small group of very productive authors who publish on this topic.
