Research indicates “many children with asthma don’t use their inhalers properly and don’t get a full dose of medicine.” Investigators looked at “inhaler use among 113 children between the ages of 2 and 16 who were hospitalized for asthma.” The researchers found that “at least one crucial step in inhaler technique was missed by 42% of the children,” and approximately “18% did not use a spacer device with their inhaler.” The findings were published in the Journal of Hospital Medicine.
