Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the inhalation techniques of asthmatic children using two devices: Diskus and Autohaler, by filming their use at home versus demonstrated techniques in the hospital.
- A total of 636 videos with the Diskus and 663 with the Autohaler were analyzed, revealing a significant difference in correct usage—44% for the Diskus compared to 96% for the Autohaler.
- The findings suggest that children made more critical errors with the Diskus at home compared to hospital demonstrations, indicating that hospital training may not accurately reflect real-life usage.
