Barriers to and competency with the use of metered dose inhaler and its impact on disease control among adult asthmatic patients in Ethiopia
Tadesse Melaku Abegaz,Efrata Ashuro Shegena,Natnael Fentie Gessie,Eyob Alemayehu Gebreyohannes,Mohammed Assen Seid +4 more
TL;DR: Assessment of the barriers to and competency with the use of Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI) among adult asthmatic patients found that patients show very poor competence to their MDI which led to poor asthma control.

The effect of Clip-tone® and its smartphone application on optimisation of metered-dose inhalers inhalation technique.
Waleed Wael,Mark J Sanders,Raghda R S Hussein,Rania M. Sarhan,Waleed Ramadan,Mohamed E. A. Abdelrahim +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the effect of Clip-tone® along with smartphone visual feedback application on the subject's inhalation time, and found that providing audio feedback by the clip-tone and smartphone application maintained the deep and slow inhalation through pMDI much better compared to verbal counselling only.
STUD Y PRO TO COL FULL TEXT ARTICLE Study protocol for a randomized, controlled trial comparing the efficacy of two educational interventions to improve inhalation techniques in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): TIEPOC Study
José Leiva-Fernández,Francisca Leiva-Fernández,Rubén L Vázquez-Alarcón,Antonio García-Ruiz,Daniel Prados-Torres,Pilar Barnestein-Fonseca +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the effectiveness of two educational interventions on patient inhalation technique improvement, where feasible within the context of clinical practice, and found that the application of educational interventions (A or B) in patients with COPD who use inhaler therapy will increase the number of patients who perform a correct inhaling technique by at least 25%.

Understanding the Knowledge Gap and Assessing Comfort Level among Healthcare Professionals Who Provide Inhaler Education
TL;DR: It is revealed that there is a continued need for education on the subject of inhaler devices among providers given their overall poor knowledge, particularly in an era of fast-changing inhaled devices.

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.
