The Mean

This study was conducted to evaluate the performance and reach of YouTube videos on physical examinations made by Spanish university students. We analyzed performance metrics for 4 videos on physical examinations in Spanish that were created by medical students at Miguel Hernández University (Elche, Spain) and are available on YouTube, on the following topics: the head and neck (7:30), the cardiovascular system (7:38), the respiratory system (13:54), and the abdomen (11:10). We used the Analytics application offered by the YouTube platform to analyze the reach of the videos from the upload date (February 17, 2015) to July 28, 2017 (2 years, 5 months, and 11 days). The total number of views, length of watch-time, and the mean view duration for the 4 videos were, respectively: 164,403 views (mean, 41,101 views; range, 12,389 to 94,573 views), 425,888 minutes (mean, 106,472 minutes; range, 37,889 to 172,840 minutes), and 2:56 minutes (range, 1:49 to 4:03 minutes). Mexico was the most frequent playback location, followed by Spain, Colombia, and Venezuela. Uruguay, Ecuador, Mexico, and Puerto Rico had the most views per 100,000 population. Spanish-language tutorials are an alternative tool for teaching physical examination skills to students whose first language is not English. The videos were especially popular in Uruguay, Ecuador, and Mexico.

Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate individually uploaded Internet materials about catheter insertion and removal in terms of their educative value. Methods: YouTube videos for both catheter insertion and catheter removal were investigated. Rating, like, dislike, the position of a patient, maneuvers during removal, immediate coverage of removal site, and type of cover material were noted. A survey regarding daily practices for catheter interventions and approaches to educative social media platforms had been taken from medical professionals as well to determine the effect of social media on learning practices. Results: A total of 50 insertion and 35 removal videos were investigated. The popularity of insertion and removal videos was 4.7 (1.6–16.5) and 1.88 (0.66–4.54), respectively. ( p = 0.011). The position of a patient during insertion was supine in 80%, Trendelenburg in 18%, and upright in 82.9% of the removal videos ( p = 0.000). The survey showed that medical professionals watched insertion videos (66%) more than removal videos (11.7%) ( p = 0.002). Catheter insertion positions were similar among participants ( p = 0.553). Removal positions were different in specialties ( p = 0.023) in which especially nephrologists tend to remove the catheter at the sitting position. Conclusion: Medical professionals think that removal is an easier procedure than insertion. They both search more for insertion videos and upload more insertion videos. Insertion practices are similar among different specialties. However, removal practices are more heterogeneous. Individually uploaded catheter videos at YouTube are not reliable educative materials. More free official work should be produced to maintain sufficient qualified online material on social media platforms.

BACKGROUND YouTube is a popular platform with many videos, which have potential educational value for medical students. Due to the lack of peer review, other surrogates are necessary to determine the content quality of such educational videos. Few studies have analyzed the research background or academic affiliation of the physicians associated with the production of YouTube videos for medical education. The research background or academic affiliations of those physicians may be a reflection of the content quality of these educational videos. OBJECTIVE This study identifies physicians associated with the production of educational YouTube videos about shingles and analyzes those physicians based on their research background or academic affiliation, which may be good surrogates for video content quality. METHODS Using the YouTube search engine with default settings, the term “shingles” was searched on May 8, 2020. A cross-sectional study was performed using the first 50 search results. A search on Scopus for each identified physician was performed, and data regarding their research background and academic affiliation were recorded. RESULTS Of the 50 YouTube videos, 35 (70%) were categorized as academic. Of the 35 academic videos, 24 (71%) videos featured physicians, totaling 25 physicians overall. Out of these 25 physicians, 5 (20%) had at least 1 shingles-related publication and 8 (32%) had an h-index >10. A total of 21 (84%) physicians held an academic affiliation. CONCLUSIONS These results ensure to a certain degree the quality of the content in academic videos on YouTube for medical education. However, further evaluation is needed for this growing platform.

AbstractThe process of clerking routine pre-operative admissions involves the house officer taking a full medical history and performing a full physical examination. The diagnostic yield is thought to be low, and the educational value to the house officer is also small. This study addresses the question as to whether routine physical examination is always indicated.One hundred and nine children admitted for routine Otolaryngology procedures were prospectively studied to identify the importance of examination in the pre-operative assessment of patients.The results showed that 51 per cent of the children admitted had risk factors. The medical history was sufficient to identify these risk factors in all patients with the exception of one cardiac condition.This study concludes that a suitable alternative to the current process of clerking such as a standardized nurse history could be safely and efficiently undertaken. Eliminating the tiny percentage of previously unrecognized disease would be a prerequisite for such a change.

Abstract Aim The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in fewer physical microsurgical training opportunities, forcing trainees to seek virtual alternatives. As one of the largest video-sharing platforms globally, YouTube is increasingly being used to provide educational content. With additional emphasis placed on these videos, there will likely have an impact on training progression further down the line. This research aims to evaluate YouTube video content as a microsurgical training information source. Method We searched Youtube.com for videos demonstrating and teaching microsurgical techniques. Search terms included “microsurgical”, “teaching”, “anastomosis” and “flap”. All videos of neurosurgical nature were excluded. Thirty-one videos were evaluated using nine criteria and using a modified GQS score. To reduce duplication, included videos were limited to two from one source. Results Initial results show 79% of the videos were GQS Score 4/5 and therefore of good quality, despite only 38.7% featuring human procedures. 82.8% of the videos found were from medical websites, with most generated from three independent sources. The highly-scoring YouTube videos tended to have an audio voice-over or subtitles and clearly described the instruments and materials used. Conclusions The results demonstrated that high-quality videos are easily accessible on YouTube and deemed useful as educational tools. However, trainees should be aware that varied sources provide videos that range in quality; and the learning acquired may not directly correspond to learning objectives set out by governing bodies and is unlikely to be comparable to real-life observation in theatre. Overall, evidence for the current educational value of YouTube for microsurgical techniques is somewhat limited.
