AIM To evaluate the effectiveness of a programme of asthma clubs in improving quality of life in primary school children with asthma. METHODS A cluster randomised intervention trial was undertaken in 22 primary schools within the urban area of south and east Belfast, Northern Ireland. Schools were randomised in pairs to immediate or delayed groups. The study subjects comprised 173 children ag...
BACKGROUND Use of inhalers requires accurate completion of multiple steps to ensure effective medication delivery. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the most problematic steps in the use of Diskus and Turbuhaler for pharmacists and patients in Jordon and Australia. METHODS With standardized inhaler-technique checklists, we asked community pharmacists to demonstrate the use of Diskus and Turbuhaler. We...
Background The majority of patients with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have been known to perform inhaler technique inadequately. We aimed to evaluate the benefit of hospital pharmacy intervention on the current status of dry powder inhaler (Rotahaler®) technique in such patients and the factors associated with the correct use. Methods A pre-post interventional study...
Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients are required to inhale forcefully and deeply to receive medication when using a dry powder inhaler (DPI). There is a clinical need to objectively monitor the inhalation flow profile of DPIs in order to remotely monitor patient inhalation technique. Audio-based methods have been previously employed to accurately estimate flow param...
BACKGROUND Usability (ease of use) is an important feature of inhalers to ensure optimal dose delivery OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare the usability of a multidose dry powder inhaler (mDPI) and a capsule dry powder inhaler (cDPI) in older individuals, using a range of qualitative and quantitative techniques from the field of cognitive ergonomics. METHODS Participants aged >50...
The paper by MEHUYS et al. [1] adds to the body of literature which demonstrates the utility of pharmacist-led disease management interventions in improving asthma care. The intervention in this study included education about asthma management, inhaler technique, medication adherence and, in some cases, smoking cessation. The multi-facilitated approach of this and several previous studies raise...
INTRODUCTION Many patients with asthma remain poorly controlled despite the use of inhaled corticosteroids and long-acting beta agonists. Poor control may arise from inadequate adherence, incorrect inhaler technique or because the condition is refractory. Without having an objective assessment of adherence, clinicians may inadvertently add extra medication instead of addressing adherence. This ...
