Abstract
The development and analysis of an instrument to evaluate the use of metered dose inhalers by patients in the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Asthma Program is presented. A total of 238 adult asthma patients demonstrated use of the metered dose inhaler for this analysis. Patient skill in using the inhaler was recorded using the instrument, Inhaler-Use Checklist, developed at UAB. The study found that most patients use metered dose inhalers incorrectly, despite training received from their physicians on proper use of inhalers.Entities:
