Abstract

In recent years, YouTube, operated by YouTube LLC in San Bruno, USA, has emerged as a significant resource for medical professionals and students, offering a vast array of educational content.With over 4 billion daily video views, the platform plays a crucial role in the distribution and consumption of digital content, including medical videos.This makes YouTube an important tool for surgeons, residents, and students seeking visual learning materials for preoperative preparation and skill development [9].However, while YouTube provides convenient access to surgical videos, the quality and reliability of the content can vary significantly, as platform administrators do not enforce strict quality controls or review uploaded materials prior to publication.This variability in quality poses a potential risk, IntroductIon Most ocular procedures employ local anesthesia (LA) to enhance patient comfort and facilitate surgical operations [1-3].The advantages of LA include reduced recovery time, the ability to perform medical procedures without requiring overnight hospitalization, and minimizing the complications associated with general anesthesia (GA).Additionally, LA allows patients to assume the correct postoperative posture immediately after surgery [4,5].Among the various techniques for delivering LA, the retrobulbar (RB) block is frequently utilized for surgeries targeting the posterior segment of the eye.Although generally considered safe, the RB technique has been associated with rare but serious complications, including optic nerve injury, globe perforation, and cardiorespiratory arrest [6-
