Evaluation of Youtube™ training videos on USG-guided peripheral nerve blocks

Abstract

YouTube is widely utilized as a resource of information supply in the health area, as it is in many subjects. Established in February 2005, YouTube is an independent video-sharing platform that provides persons to detect, observe, and as well as share videos There are no edits accustomed to analyse the qualification and accuracy of the videos. The goal of our research was to analyse the qualification and contents of the videos on USG Guided Peripheral Nerve Blocks on YouTube. On 01.06.2022, a peripheral nerve block was typed in the https://www.YouTube.com/ link search field, accompanied by USG. 100 videos found as a result of the search were reviewed. Url of the videos, uploader name and organization information, duration of the video in minutes, number of views, likes, and dislikes, time from uploading the video to the date it was viewed (in days), resolution of the video, number of interpretations on the video, type of peripheral nerve block, peripheral It was examined whether electrical stimulation was given during the nerve block. Viewing rate, Video Power Index, Interaction index, Global Quality Scale, modified discern scoring system were calculated. No numerically significance was detected between viewing rate, video power index, interaction index, global qualification scale, modified discern scoring system values according to medical doctor- Professional institutions (p>0.05). We think that the accuracy and educativeness of the videos that focus on a specific subject for a specific area of expertise in the field of health we examined in our study, regardless of medical doctor or Professional institutions, are sufficient.
