متن کاملEvaluation of Metered Dose Inhaler Use Technique and Response to Educational Training.
BACKGROUND Prescribing inhalers without imparting adequate education regarding proper technique of their usage may result in suboptimal clinical improvement and wastage of medication. Training interventions using a standard check-list may help improve faulty techniques and enhance drug efficacy. METHODS Patients using metered dose inhaler (MDI) were included in the study. Inhaler technique wa...
متن کاملImprovement of drug delivery with a breath actuated pressurised aerosol for patients with poor inhaler technique.
BACKGROUND The metered dose inhaler is difficult to use correctly, synchronising actuation with inhalation being the most important problem. A breath actuated pressurised inhaler, designed to help patients with poor inhaler technique, was compared with a conventional metered dose inhaler in terms of aerosol deposition and bronchodilator response. METHODS Radioaerosol deposition and bronchodilat...
متن کاملUsing videos to teach children inhaler technique: a pilot randomized controlled trial.
OBJECTIVE This primary objective of this pilot randomized, controlled trial was to determine whether a brief video intervention delivered after a pediatric office visit could improve inhaler technique in children with asthma immediately and one month later. The intervention's effect on children's inhaler self-efficacy and asthma control was also evaluated. METHODS Children (n=91) ages 7-17 ye...
