要旨

Introduction:

Knowledge of factors impacting the effectiveness of training of correct inhalation technique could increase the effectiveness of inhalation technique.

Objectives:

The aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of inhalation technique training and to identify factors impacting the effectiveness of training.

Patients And Methods:

This single centre, interventional, non-randomized study involved 180 adult patients with asthma or COPD. Inhalation technique was evaluated using a checklist of common errors and peak inspiratory flow (PIF). Patients who made any mistakes during inhalation were trained. We searched for factors which may have impacted the effectiveness of inhalation training.

Results:

A total of 115 asthma and 65 COPD patients were analyzed. In 140 patients using either metered-dose inhalers (MDI) or soft mist inhalers (SMI; SMI users were grouped with MDI users for analysis), only 9 patients (6.4 %) used inhalers correctly, for dry-powder inhalers (DPI) only 31 (28.2 %). The training of inhalation technique was successful in 112/131 MDI users (85.5 %) and 67/79 DPI users (84.8 %). Among MDI users, patients who achieved short term improvement in inhalation technique were more likely to have asthma (68.8 % vs. 42.1 %, p = 0.047), be non-smokers (33 % vs 5.3 %, p = 0.039) and younger (64 vs. 66 years, p = 0.028) vs. patients without improvement; respectively among DPI users: cognitive disorders were less often found (0 % vs. 16.7 %, p = 0.018), patients more often read drug leaflets (80.6 % vs 50 %, p = 0.022) and had good self-esteem of inhalation skills (97 % vs. 75 %, p = 0.025).

Conclusions:

Training in inhalation leads to short term improvement of inhalation technique for most trainees. As different factors are important for efficacy of training in inhalation skills for MDI and DPI, an individual approach for training is important.

COPD: Management Using Bronchodilators and Corticosteroids

Chronic obstructive pulmonary isease (COPD) involves a group of progressive lung disorders characterized by persistent airflow limitation and chronic respiratory symptoms. Asthma-COPD Overlap Syndrome (ACOS), encompassing features of both asthma and Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), is a group of progressive lung disorders that includes chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and refractory (non-reversible) asthma. ACOS leads to complex clinical presentations that combine the inflammatory...

Inhaled Medications

Inhaled Medications

Inhaled medications are crucial for managing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. They are essential for effective treatment and control, ensuring optimal respiratory health and well-being. Inhaled medication delivers drugs directly to the lungs, providing a rapid onset of action and reducing systemic side effects compared to oral or injectable medications. Three primary types of inhalation devices are used to administer these medications: nebulizers, metered-dose inhalers...

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease-V: Management

Managing Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) involves a multifaceted approach to reduce symptoms, prevent exacerbations, improve overall health status, and slow disease progression. Key strategies include lifestyle modifications, pharmacotherapy, supportive therapies, and, in some cases, surgery. Here is an overview of the primary COPD management strategies:

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease-I: Introduction

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease-I: Introduction

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a long-lasting respiratory condition requiring continuous attention and care. It is a progressive lung disease that leads to breathing challenges due to airflow obstruction. It manifests as persistent respiratory symptoms and restricted airflow resulting from abnormalities in the airways and alveoli, usually due to long-term exposure to harmful particles or gases. COPD mainly consists of two primary conditions: emphysema and chronic bronchitis.

Drugs Used in Lower Respiratory Disorders: Overview

Lower respiratory tract disorders present challenges that often require skilled and nuanced approaches for effective management. Common ailments, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), have prompted the development of intricate treatment strategies involving bronchodilators and anti-inflammatory drugs, each tailored to ease breathing and revitalize the lungs.
Bronchodilators, the first step of respiration enhancement, come in various forms, each with its own mechanism...

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

COPD is defined as a heterogeneous lung condition marked by persistent respiratory symptoms such as dyspnea, cough, and sputum production, caused by abnormalities in the airways that cause airflow obstruction.
Smoking is a primary risk factor for COPD, with over 80% of patients having a history of it. Patients typically experience progressive dyspnea or labored breathing, frequent coughing, and recurrent pulmonary infections. Many eventually succumb to respiratory failure, characterized by...
