A Cross-Sectional Study of YouTube Videos on Caudal Block: Quality Assessment and Comparison of Sources

Öz

OBJECTIVE: YouTube has become a widely used platform for medical education, including procedural techniques such as caudal block. However, the reliability and educational quality of its content remain uncertain. This study aimed to assess the quality, reliability, and educational value of YouTube videos on caudal block and to compare content produced by independent physicians versus professional societies. MATERIALS and METHODS: A cross-sectional analysis of 40 English-language YouTube videos was conducted using validated scoring tools: JAMA criteria, modified DISCERN, Global Quality Score (GQS), and Block-Specific Quality Score (BSQS). Viewer engagement metrics and source classification were also recorded. RESULTS: Videos from professional societies had significantly higher view counts and like ratios, while independent physicians’ videos had more likes and dislikes. Educational quality scores (JAMA, DISCERN, GQS, BSQS) showed no significant differences between the groups. VPI correlated positively with all quality scores (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: YouTube hosts variable-quality content on caudal block. While professional society videos reach a wider audience, overall educational quality remains inconsistent, emphasizing the need for critical appraisal and standardized video production.
