Automatic external defibrillators (AED) are life-saving devices whose prevalence is increasing day by day and are designed to be used easily by everyone. In this study, we evaluated the videos about AEDs on "YouTube" in terms of accuracy and compliance with the guidelines. AED videos on YouTube were evaluated based on the AED section of ILCOR 2015. While the videos were evaluated, the uploader, video duration, number of views, and who the AED was applied to were also recorded. Each video was evaluated by applying a score between 0-9 points. Three hundred videos were evaluated in this study. Of these, 215 were excluded from the study according to the exclusion criteria and 85 were included in the study. When these videos were evaluated, it was found that 36 of them were uploaded by private companies for educational purposes, the average number of views was 19836 (min. 7 – max. 254318) and the median duration was 5.46 seconds or minutes (min. 0.24 – max. 59.1). The highest number videos were uploaded in 2014 (17) and a mannequin was used for demonstration in 68 videos. Only 3 videos (3.5%) received full marks. It was observed that there was a significant relationship between the institution that uploaded the videos and the reliability of the views (p≤0.05). No correlation was found between reliability and the person to whom AED was applied, video duration and loading time (p=0.218, p=0.491 and p=0.324, respectively). As a result of our study, we saw that only 3 out of 85 published under the name 'automatic external defibrillator' on YouTube received full scores, and 23 videos received scores above the average score, therefore, YouTube does not appear to be a reliable source of education for AED.
