TLDR
It is demonstrated that incorrect DPI technique with established DPIs is common among patients with asthma and COPD, and suggests that poor inhalation technique has detrimental consequences for clinical efficacy.About:

Device use errors with soft mist inhalers: A global systematic literature review and meta-analysis.
TL;DR: This global systematic literature review and meta-analysis examined device use errors with SMIs among patients with obstructive lung diseases and found an individualized approach to inhalation device selection and ongoing training and monitoring of device use are important in optimizing bronchodilator treatment.

TL;DR: Asthma patients on inhalation medications should have routine assessment of their inhaler technique at every visit and corrected if found to be poor, as majority of asthma patients use their inhalers inaccurately.

Investigation of knowledge of asthma and inhaler devices in pharmacy workers
TL;DR: Istanbul pharmacy workers have limited knowledge about asthma and inhaler devices and need further education, which may contribute to improved asthma control in Turkey.

Misuse of corticosteroid metered-dose inhaler is associated with decreased asthma stability
Violaine Giraud,Nicolas Roche +1 more
TL;DR: Misuse of pressurized metered-dose inhalers, which is mainly due to poor coordination, is frequent and associated with poorer asthma control in inhaled corticosteroid-treated asthmatics, highlighting the importance of evaluating inhalation technique and providing appropriate education in all patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regional lung deposition and bronchodilator response as a function of beta2-agonist particle size.
TL;DR: Regional targeting of inhaled beta2-agonist to the proximal airways is more important than distal alveolar deposition for bronchodilation and can appreciably enhance inhaled drug therapy and may have implications for developing future inhaled treatments.

Inhaled corticosteroids for asthma therapy: patient compliance, devices, and inhalation technique.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that multiple factors may come between a prescription of an inhaled corticosteroid and the arrival of that medicine at its target organ, the lung.
