Novel methodology to characterise how asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients use their inhalers and methods to improve their inhaler technique Objective assessment of how patients use inhalers [PDF]
Inhaled administration is the mainstay of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) management using either a pressurised metered dose inhaler (pMDI) or a dry powder inhaler (DPI).

ANTISEPTIC INHALATIONS IN PULMONARY DISEASES. [PDF]
Journal of the American Medical Association, 1888 In the treatment of pulmonary complaints the tendency at the present time is towards local medication. This arises principally from the general acceptation of the germ theory, which teaches in the main that diseases originate from microorganisms; and the belief that from this it must follow, as a necessity, that these microorganisms must be destroyed ...

Respimat as the new standard for inhalation therapy devices
Медицинский совет, 2021 The effectiveness of inhalation therapy can be significantly reduced by a number of problems. For example, inhalation technique errors can reduce the dose delivered by 22-95% compared to the optimal value in patients with technical errors in the use of ...

Improved ventricular function during inhalation of PGI(2) aerosol partly relies on enhanced myocardial contractility [PDF]
, 2005 Inhaled prostacyclin (PGI(2)) aerosol induces selective pulmonary vasodilation. Further, it improves right ventricular ( RV) function, which may largely rely on pulmonary vasodilation, but also on enhanced myocardial contractility.

Improved Metered Dose Inhaler Technique When a Coordination Cap Is Used [PDF]
, 2014 Background: Patients often experience problems using metered dose inhalers (MDIs), particularly poor coordination between inhalation start and dose actuation (TsIn: time difference between the start of an inhalation and the actuation of a dose), and fast
