- Bibliometric analysis reveals key journals, authors, and institutions in the field.

## Abstract

In order to ensure patient safety, comfort, and ideal procedural conditions, anesthesia services are essential to current interventional radiology (IR) procedures. Clinical needs, procedure type, and patient age impact the anesthetic strategy. Both adult and pediatric IR interventions are considerably more successful when the anesthesia plan is well-coordinated. In recent years, many articles in peer-reviewed journals have been published highlighting various IR procedures performed under different anesthetic approaches, such as monitored anesthesia care with sedation, general anesthesia, and regional anesthesia, successfully. Several review articles have also discussed the anesthetic facilities and monitoring required in the IR suite. This bibliometric analysis aimed to provide comprehensive details of the journals, citations, authors, and institutions that published articles on anesthesia management for IR procedures.
