Abstract:

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the conformity of the 2015 CPR guide of the cardiopulmonary resuscitation CPR app on the Turkish YouTube pages.Data of this study, designed to identify, was collected between August-October 2018. YouTube search engine's Turkish pages were searched using the keywords "cardiopulmonary resuscitation", "basic life support", "heart massage". Videos that meet the research criteria were evaluated in terms of visuality and information content through a checklist created by the researchers. The SPSS 20,00 program was used to evaluate the data, and the results were given as a number and percentage. Results: 81.6 percent of the reviewed videos found how to control the patient’s reaction, 73.7 percent found that 112 emergency services should be asked for help before the treatment began, but 73.7 percent did not emphasize that it should be followed by the CAB ranking. CPR app videos were by healthcare staff in 63.2 percent, and 57.9 percent of the videos were not interesting and uninterested. The average duration of the videos is 5.85 min ss: 4.35 is calculated.The result: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation, respiratory or circulatory functions are a fast and effective application when applied to persons who are stopped, not in the place of consciousness. Especially when fully and effectively used, it significantly reduces mortality and morbidity. Since CPR is an application where knowledge and skills are used together, it is a fact that unused information and unrecurring applications can result in serious consequences for both the applicant and the person on which the application is done. According to the data obtained from this study, the number of up-to-date, reliable, complete and useful videos that can be accessed by those who want to get information about the CPR application on the Turkish YouTube channel in Turkey is quite limited.
