TLDR
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.About:

A randomised open-label cross-over study of inhaler errors, preference and time to achieve correct inhaler use in patients with COPD or asthma: comparison of ELLIPTA with other inhaler devices.

TL;DR: Significantly, fewer COPD patients using ELLIPTA made critical errors after reading the PIL vs other inhalers, and more asthma and COPd patients preferred ELLipTA over comparator inhalers.
Journal ArticleDOI
The economic burden of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and the impact of poor inhalation technique with commonly prescribed dry powder inhalers in three European countries
TL;DR: Measures that can improve inhalation technique with current DPIs, such as easier-to-use inhalers or better patient training, could offer benefits to patients and healthcare providers through improving disease outcomes and lowering costs.

NEXThaler, an innovative dry powder inhaler delivering an extrafine fixed combination of beclometasone and formoterol to treat large and small airways in asthma.
Massimo Corradi,Henry Chrystyn,Borja G. Cosío,Michal Pirozynski,Stelios Loukides,Renaud Louis,Monica Spinola,Omar S. Usmani +7 more
TL;DR: The evaluation of the inhalation profiles through the NexThaler DPI demonstrates that device activation and consistent dose delivery occurs at patient achievable inhalation flow rates, and supports the broad utility of the NEXThalerDPI in patients with asthma.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of inhaler technique, adherence to therapy and their effect on disease control among children with asthma using metered dose or dry powder inhalers.
TL;DR: It was found that asthma control was better among correct users andetitive training about using devices may contribute improving inhaler technique.
Journal ArticleDOI
Asthma control: importance of compliance and inhaler technique assessments
TL;DR: Patients with good inhaler techniques and compliance have better control of their asthma, and inhaler technique assessment and measurements of patient compliance with their prescribed treatments should be considered for inclusion in the current assessment tools.

Evaluation of Clinical Methods for Rating Dyspnea
TL;DR: The results show that the BDI, MRC scale, and OCD provide significantly related measures of Dyspnea, and the clinical ratings of dyspnea correlate significantly with physiologic parameters of lung function; and breathlessness may be related to the pathophysiology of the specific respiratory disease.

TL;DR: 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.

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.
