The Use of Metered-Dose Inhalers in Hospital Environments
Journal of Aerosol Medicine and Pulmonary Drug Delivery, 2013 Metered-dose inhalers (MDIs) have become a firsthand therapeutic strategy for the management of respiratory diseases, mainly for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. It has been determined, however, that patients do not always use these devices correctly. Our primary goal was to establish the level of technical knowledge of patients
