Objectives: To the our best knowledge, there is no literature on the effectiveness of YouTube on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) practice. In our study, we aimed to evaluate the characteristics and medical aspects of videos on YouTube about ECMO. Materials and Methods: In internet media website YouTube.com search engine; the word ECMO was searched in December 2018 without any filter. The listed first 100 videos were classified according to count of like, dislike, origin of country and types of ECMO. ECMO videos were categorized under three main topics as, educational purpose, patient follow-up and weaning from ECMO. The materials were evaluated in terms of intelligibility using the suitability assessment of materials (SAM). User participation measurements were obtained for each video. Results: In our study, it was observed that the number of videos, content variety and duration of ECMO contents that were uploaded to YouTube after 2016 increased significantly. However, it was found that there was no significant relationship between date and duration of SAM and there was no significant correlation between the duration of the video and the SAM score. However, it was determined that there was a positively weak correlation between the scores of the videos and the number of views. Conclusion: Medical education is forming from didactic education to a system which is problem-based, media and visually aided, and effectively using all of the educational tools. During this period, the use of sites such as YouTube is increasing among medical education sources. Considering that, the discussions may be based on insufficient information quality, patient confidentiality and legal issues. Thus, we think that the necessity of double-blind peer eviews is one of the important points to discuss in terms of content, educational direction, patient confidentiality and legal procedures in social media related to medical education.
