TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the prevalence of inhaler mishandling in a large population of experienced patients referring to chest clinics; to analyze the variables associated with misuse and the relationship between inhaler handling and health-care resources use and disease control.
Journal ArticleDOI

Andrea S. Melani,Doriana Zanchetta,Natalino Barbato,Piersante Sestini,Cristina Cinti,Piero Aldo Canessa,Stefano Aiolfi,Margherita Neri +7 more
TL;DR: The use of DPIs is associated with a similar percentage of inadequate inhalation technique as the use of pMDIs in clinical practice, and the addition of an LVS to a pMDI and education from health care personnel, rather than simply changing inhalers, represent the best strategies for minimizing poor inhalations technique.

Margherita Neri,Andrea S. Melani,Anna Maria Miorelli,Doriana Zanchetta,Elisabetta Bertocco,Cristina Cinti,Piero Aldo Canessa,Piersante Sestini +7 more
TL;DR: The widespread use of liquid oxygen did not automatically assure optimal adherence to the prescribed treatment as regards times and modality of oxygen use, and a better education of patients, relatives, and the general public, as well as increased self-assessment on the part of health caregivers would improve the practice of LTOT in Italy.

As Melani,Piersante Sestini,Stefano Aiolfi,Natalino Barbato,Piero Aldo Canessa,G. De Angelis,Doriana Zanchetta,R De Tullio,Cristina Cinti,Margherita Neri +9 more
TL;DR: The present survey suggests that home neBulizer use and maintenance in Italy are heterogeneous, and there is the need to implement better nebulizer practice.
