Consumers are involved more than ever in their health care, with many utilizing the Internet for health information. YouTube is a convenient and vast source of health education videos. Pharmaceutical companies, health organizations, providers, and others post instructional videos for the use of the Respimat Soft Mist™ Inhaler device on sites like YouTube. Therefore, review of content and quality is important to ensure consumers are directed to the best information available.
Assess content and quality of YouTube videos demonstrating Respimat Soft Mist inhaler technique.
YouTube was queried May 16, 2018 using the term "Respimat inhaler." The first 35 unique videos in English with instructions for use were assessed. Technical quality of each video was evaluated using a validated scale and content assessed using manufacturer/package insert.
Of 35 videos reviewed, median duration was 2 minutes 50 seconds (interquartile range [IQR]: 1 minute 23 seconds-4 minutes 22 seconds). Target audience was laypeople for 97% (n = 34) of videos. The source was a professional organization for 70% (n = 24). Most (74%, n = 24) received the maximum quality score of 5. Commonly omitted steps included documentation of the discard date (74%), repetitive dose activation until spray is visible (49%), and pointing inhaler to the back of the throat (43%).
Proper technique is crucial for patients to achieve optimal results from inhaled medications. While many videos are available through YouTube for demonstration of Respimat Soft Mist inhaler technique, some omitted key steps. Thorough and repetitive patient education should be provided, and augmented with reputable online sources.
消费者比以往任何时候都更多地参与到自身医疗保健中，许多人利用互联网获取健康信息。YouTube是一个方便且丰富的健康教育视频来源。制药公司、健康组织、医疗服务提供者及其他机构在YouTube等网站上发布关于Respimat软雾吸入器装置使用方法的教学视频。因此，审查内容和质量对于确保消费者获得最佳可用信息非常重要。
评估YouTube上展示Respimat软雾吸入器技术的视频内容和质量。
2018年5月16日在YouTube上使用“Respimat吸入器”一词进行查询。对前35个用英语讲解使用说明的独特视频进行评估。使用经过验证的量表评估每个视频的技术质量，并根据制造商/包装说明书评估内容。
在审查的35个视频中，中位时长为2分50秒（四分位间距[IQR]：1分23秒 - 4分22秒）。97%（n = 34）的视频目标受众为普通民众。70%（n = 24）的视频来源是专业组织。大多数（74%，n = 24）获得了最高质量分数5分。常见遗漏步骤包括丢弃日期记录（74%）、重复剂量激活直至可见喷雾（49%）以及将吸入器指向咽喉后部（43%）。
正确的技术对于患者从吸入药物中获得最佳效果至关重要。虽然通过YouTube可以获取许多展示Respimat软雾吸入器技术的视频，但有些视频遗漏了关键步骤。应提供全面且反复的患者教育，并辅以可靠的在线资源。
