The internet is a widely used source for obtaining medical information both by patients and physicians. YouTube is an essential source of information that may be a useful tool to inform the public and may improve the learning experience if used adequately. In this study, we aimed to estimate the quality and accuracy of videos about cardiopulmonary resuscitation videos aired on YouTube, which is the most popular video platform of the online world.
We included the first 100 videos, in English, returned by the YouTube search engine in response to "cardiopulmonary resuscitation" keyword query to the study. The popularity of the videos was evaluated with an index called the video power index. The educational quality, accuracy, and transparency of the visual content were measured using the DISCERN questionnaire (DISCERN), Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA-BC) benchmark criteria, and Global Quality Score (GQS). The technical quality was measured by the Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Scoring System (CPR-SS), which was utilized by three bariatric surgeons.
The source in 7% of the videos was medical doctors. The content in 89% of the videos was cardiopulmonary resuscitation technique. According to sources, videos uploaded by physicians had significantly higher quality, transparency, educational and technical value. Unlike, videos uploaded by physicians had a lower video power index than videos uploaded by non-medical professionals. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation technique videos had significantly higher quality, transparency, educational and technical value. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation technique videos also had higher popularity scores than "information or lecture" videos. Also, negative correlations were found between the (popularity index and transparency, education and technical quality scores.
Online information on cardiopulmonary resuscitation is of low quality, and its contents are of unknown source and accuracy. However, the educational potential of the online video platform, YouTube, cannot be neglected.
互联网是患者和医生获取医学信息的常用来源。YouTube 是信息的重要来源，如果使用得当，它可能是一个有用的工具，可以告知公众并改善学习体验。在这项研究中，我们旨在评估在 YouTube 上播放的心肺复苏术视频的质量和准确性，YouTube 是网络世界上最受欢迎的视频平台。
我们纳入了 YouTube 搜索引擎响应“心肺复苏术”关键词查询返回的前 100 个英文视频。使用视频影响力指数评估视频的受欢迎程度。使用 DISCERN 问卷（DISCERN）、美国医学会（JAMA-BC）基准标准和全球质量评分（GQS）评估视觉内容的教育质量、准确性和透明度。技术质量通过三位肥胖症外科医生使用的心肺复苏评分系统（CPR-SS）进行测量。
视频来源 7%为医生。89%的视频内容为心肺复苏技术。根据来源，医生上传的视频质量、透明度、教育和技术价值明显更高。相比之下，非医疗专业人士上传的视频比医生上传的视频具有更低的视频影响力指数。心肺复苏技术视频的质量、透明度、教育和技术价值明显更高。心肺复苏技术视频的受欢迎程度评分也高于“信息或讲座”视频。此外，（受欢迎程度指数与透明度、教育和技术质量评分呈负相关。
心肺复苏术的在线信息质量较低，其内容来源和准确性未知。然而，YouTube 等在线视频平台的教育潜力不可忽视。
