CiteSpace software was used for visual analysis.Results:A total of 630 articles were included, and the number of publications was on the rise. The country with the highest number of publications was the United States, with 8 out of the top 10 institutions in terms of publication volume coming from the United States. The author with the highest number of publications was Grudzen. The top 10 journals in terms of citation frequency were mostly specialized journals on palliative care and first aid. The results of keyword analysis showed that a total of 15 clustering labels and 20 emergent words were output, reflecting the changes of key research objects, main research types and areas of concern.Conclusions:At present, nursing research in this field is in the development stage in China. We can draw on the practical experience of foreign countries to further explore the emergency palliative care model and service system based on China's national conditions.
