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:

Management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: criteria for an appropriate hospital discharge
Marco Candela,Ruggero Pastorelli,Antonio Sacchetta,Mauro Campanini,Leonardo M. Fabbri,Carlo Nozzoli +5 more
TL;DR: A structured COPD discharge form is developed that is aimed at improving the management of COPD patients, particularly in the aftermath of hospital discharge, and implies an integrated model of care delivery by all relevant health providers.

Bridging the gap: the patient-doctor relationship.
TL;DR: The implementation of the GOLD standards places increased demands on physicians and very importantly requires that patients are given the necessary tools to effectively manage their disease in order to improve their quality of life and the medical care they receive.

Inhalation as a Means of Systemic Drug Delivery
TL;DR: This chapter will present the above aspects and will show that the required action of inhaled medicines may be obtained by adjusting the properties of drug particles forming powders or liquid formulations (suspensions) that undergo aerosolization.

Exploring quality of life and satisfaction with treatment in asthmatic patients receiving dry powder inhalers: a multinational survey.
TL;DR: In this article, the quality of life and device needs have not been characterized in asthmatic patients treated via dry powder inhalers (DPIs) and the aim of this study was to assess the impact of asthma on heal...

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.

TL;DR: The results suggest that there are differences in the handling of inhaler devices in real life in primary care that are not taken into account in controlled studies.
