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:

Practical aspects of inhaler use in the management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in the primary care setting
TL;DR: Information is presented that can overcome barriers to proper inhaler use, including issues in device selection, steps in correct technique for various inhaler devices, and suggestions for assessing and monitoring inhaler techniques.

The role of nebulized therapy in the management of COPD: evidence and recommendations.
Rajiv Dhand,Myrna Dolovich,Bradley E. Chipps,Timothy R Myers,Ruben D Restrepo,Judith R Farrar +5 more
TL;DR: The current body of evidence regarding nebulizer use for maintenance therapy in patients with moderate-to-severe COPD, including use during exacerbations, suggests that the efficacy of long-term neBulizer therapy is similar, and in some respects superior, to that with pMDI/DPIs.

Thompson,Dermot Ryan,Kevin Gruffydd-Jones,John Haughney,Nicolas Roche,Federico Lavorini,Alberto Papi,Antonio Infantino,Miguel Román-Rodríguez,Sinthia Bosnic-Anticevich,Karin Lisspers,Björn Ställberg,Svein Høegh Henrichsen,Thys van der Molen,Catherine Hutton,David Price +19 more
TL;DR: Patients with evidence of poor asthma control should be targeted for a review of their inhaler technique even when using a device thought to have a low error rate, according to the iHARP database.

Once-daily, single-inhaler mometasone–indacaterol–glycopyrronium versus mometasone–indacaterol or twice-daily fluticasone–salmeterol in patients with inadequately controlled asthma (IRIDIUM): a randomised, double-blind, controlled phase 3 study

Chaicharn Pothirat,Warawut Chaiwong,Nittaya Phetsuk,Sangnual Pisalthanapuna,Nonglak Chetsadaphan,Woranoot Choomuang +5 more
TL;DR: Inhalation technique in COPD patients without face-to-face training was mostly unsatisfactory, especially in patients with low education levels, and the Handihaler was the inhaler device associated with the lowest technique failure.

Lung volumes and forced ventilatory flows
TL;DR: Assessing the total lung capacity is indispensable in establishing a restrictive ventilatory defect or in diagnosing abnormal lung distensibility, as may occur in patients …

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.

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.
