A SYSTEMIC REVIEW:ERRORS IN INHALER USE INTRODUCTION

Abstract
Inhalation therapy is the cornerstone of successful management of obstructive airway diseases (OADs) such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) due to its two-fold benefits – drug delivery to the target organ, and less systemic exposure with minimal adverse effects on other organs.Different types of inhaler devices such as pressurized metered-dose inhalers (pMDIs) with or without spacers, dry powder inhalers (DPIs), breath-actuated inhalers (BAIs) and nebulizers are available, which provide the physician and the patient the opportunity to select/use a device based on the ability of patients and preference of patient and physicians. Despite this, most physicians report poor inhaler technique and non-adherence to inhaler devices among their patients, which can result in a high economic burden on healthcare cost and utilization, both directly and indirectly, involving exacerbations, increased hospitalizations/hospital visits, poor quality of life and increased morbidity and mortality[31]
