Trauma is one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide, and online platforms have become essential sources of information for trauma management. YouTube can play a significant role in helping people access medical information. YouTube was searched using the keywords management of trauma and assessment of trauma to identify relevant videos. Two authors independently evaluated the videos according to the ATLS (10th edition) guidelines, the modified DISCERN (m-DISCERN) scale, and the Global Quality Scale (GQS) criteria. The videos that met the study criteria were evaluated based on the provider, video length, and view count. Out of 939 videos, 667 were excluded resulting in 272 videos included in the study. According to the ATLS (10th edition) guidelines, the median score for videos was 8 (IQR 7-8). Videos uploaded by official institutions and healthcare professionals received higher scores than from uncertain sources ( = 0.003). According to the GQS, 86% of the videos were low or moderate quality; uncertain sources uploaded 78% of low-quality videos. YouTube is an information source about trauma management that contains videos of varying quality and has a broad audience. Official institutions and healthcare professionals should be aware of this evolving technology and publish up-to-date, accurate content to increase awareness about trauma management and help patients distinguish helpful information from misleading content.
创伤是全球主要的致死原因之一，在线平台已成为创伤管理信息的重要来源。YouTube在帮助人们获取医学信息方面可发挥重要作用。通过使用“创伤管理”和“创伤评估”等关键词在YouTube上进行搜索，以识别相关视频。两位作者根据《高级创伤生命支持》（第10版）指南、改良的《辨别力》（m-DISCERN）量表和全球质量量表（GQS）标准对视频进行独立评估。符合研究标准的视频根据提供者、视频时长和观看次数进行评估。在939个视频中，排除了667个，最终有272个视频纳入研究。根据《高级创伤生命支持》（第10版）指南，视频的中位数得分为8（四分位间距7-8）。官方机构和医疗专业人员上传的视频得分高于来源不明的视频（P = 0.003）。根据全球质量量表，86%的视频质量为低或中等；来源不明的上传者上传了78%的低质量视频。YouTube是一个关于创伤管理的信息来源，包含质量各异的视频，受众广泛。官方机构和医疗专业人员应了解这一不断发展的技术，并发布最新、准确的内容，以提高对创伤管理的认识，并帮助患者区分有用信息和误导性内容。
