in three countries (the UK, Spain and Sweden) poor inhaler technique accounted for over €750 million in direct and indirect costs in 2015, for the two most commonly used DPIs [18]. These cost data, together with the increasing prevalence of obstructive lung diseases...

When asthma is under control patients can: √√ Avoid troublesome symptoms night and day √√ Use little or no reliever medication √√ Have productive, physically active lives √√ Have (near) normal lung function √√ Avoid serious attacks • Asthma causes recurring episodes of wheezing, ...
Myths regarding inhalation treatments lead to less than optimal use of these delivery systems. We discuss the origin of many of these myths and provide the background and evidence for rejecting them. 展开 关键词: Aerosol Lung deposition Nebulizer Dry powder inhaler Pressurized metered dose inhaler ...
Asthma is common, globally-relevant, managed substantially in primary care and amenable to self-management. Moreover, while both the content of asthma self-management education has been well described in UK [5], US [6] and international [7] evidence-based guidelines, and its positive impact ...
Even with low lung function there was no sign of a superior effect of high climate impact inhalers. Conclusion Low climate impact inhalers were not inferior to high climate impact inhalers for any risk analysed in patients with asthma and COPD....
Severity of asthma was defined at screening based on the level of background medications and lung function as previously reported [8]. Briefly, 52 mild (no asthma controller medications, forced expired volume in 1 s (FEV1) > 80 % predicted), 52 moderate (low-moderate dose inhaled cortic...
efBDP-FOR was at least as effective at improving lung function and measures of asthma control while preventing acute asthma exacerbations as (1) larger particle BDP with FOR delivered via separate inhalers;23 (2) FP-SAL;12-16,24,25 and (3) budesonide with formoterol (BUD-FOR).16,24,26...
Ideally, one might advocate for the controller and reliever to be used via the same device, both being delivered via pMDI plus spacer to optimize lung deposition and obviate issues with coordination and local ICS dose-related adverse effects. We would suggest that patients with moderate to severe...
