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:

Achieving asthma control: the key role of inhalers
TL;DR: Asthma remains a poorly controlled disease, despite the availability of management guidelines and effective medications, and the pressurised metered-dose inhaler is still the most frequently used device worldwide.

TL;DR: Although a single inhalation training leads to a reduction in the number of errors made during inhalation, it does not influence the course of asthma and COPD and the positive effect of asingle inhalation technique training is temporary.

What can be done to impact respiratory inhaler misuse: exploring the problem, reasons, and solutions
TL;DR: To robustly address inhalers misuse, future solutions should focus on multi-level approaches to account for the myriad of factors contributing to inhaler misuse.

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.

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.
