ABSTRACT

Objectives: The aim of the study was to clarify the reliability and quality of English videos about Coronary artery bypass grafting on YouTubeTM. Methods: The study was performed between July 16 and July 30. A cardiovascular surgeon searched for terms including "coronary artery disease," "coronary artery treatment," "coronary artery bypass" and "coronary artery bypass surgery," in YouTubeTM. All videos were classified into two groups according to the source who uploaded the video as professional videos and non-professional videos. Video characteristics including duration of video on YouTube™, length of video, and view numbers for each video were recorded. Moreover, the numbers of "comments," "likes," and "dislikes" were noted. Furthermore, the target audience of the videos (professional health care worker and patients) was analyzed, DISCERN score and Global quality score (GQS) were calculated for each video. Results: Totally, 812 videos were divided into two groups according to upload sources; 448 videos were categorized as professional videos and 364 videos were categorized as non-professional videos. The mean number of views was 3220.5 for professional videos and 2216.5 for non-professional videos (p=0.001). In addition, the mean "like" numbers and mean comment numbers were significantly higher for professional videos (p=0.001 and p=0.001). The mean DISCERN score was 2.6 for professional videos and 1.5 for non-professional videos (p=0.001). Similarly, the mean GSQ was significantly higher for professional videos (3.5 vs. 2.5, p=0.001). Conclusion: YouTube™ videos which are shared by professional healthcare workers have better quality and reliability with significantly higher DISCERN score and GQS.

ABSTRACT

CONTEXT: Patients with chronic renal failure have a high prevalence of coronary artery disease and cardiovascular death. The mortality and the morbidity rates of cardiac surgery are particularly high in these patients with end-stage renal disease. Performing cardiac surgery and kidney transplant in the same session can reduce these complications in the early postoperative period by normalizing renal function. OBJECTIVE: To compare the mortality and morbidity rates between patients who had undergone cardiac surgery and kidney transplant separately and patients who had combined surgeries. METHODS: This retrospective study consisted of 75 patients. One group of 60 patients underwent cardiac surgery and kidney transplant in separate sessions, and the other group of 15 patients had combined surgeries in the same session, between March 2008 and September 2012. RESULTS: Patients who had combined surgeries achieved fluid electrolytic balance more easily, had shorter extubation times, used less blood and blood products, and had fewer major complications. The patients recovered faster and thus had shorter stays in the intensive care unit and hospital. This combined surgical approach allows normalized kidney function in patients with end-stage renal disease, so mortality and morbidity in the early postoperative period could be significantly reduced.
