Dr. Pierre : , eauefry, a
Respiratory Specialist who is, asso-
ciated with the .Hospital for Sick
Child ren in Toronto, estimates
only 2O of the asthmatic patients
he sees, receive the maximum.
benefit from their °inhalers« The
most common explanation for this,
according to Dr..Eca.`udry,. is
iniproper technique and not using:
the right inhaler at the right time.
Let's look .at these two problems
end see, what I can suggest to help
resolve them. This week I v ill' dis-
cuss the problems: encountered
whep, using inhalers.
First, as far' astechnique is .con-
caned, finding the correct method.
of how to usean, inhaler is through
trial and error.` I doubt very much.
if an asthmatic patient is able to
' receive the full effect of the drug
with their very first inhalation!
Even when following the package
insert which explains the correct
method of administration for these
' medicines, it will take some time
to master using them. Some com-
mon errors encountered- when
using an inhaler are: (1) poor cobr-
dination finding it difficult to
breathe in and release the
medicine from the inhaler at the
same time,,(2) breathing in too
fast ;- when this occurs, the
medicine ends up on theback• of
the ,throat ..instead of•An the.

bronchial tubes and (3) not hold-
ing breath long enough after
inhalation - you should hold your
breath for as long as possible or at
least 10 seconds sothe medicine
can settle in the lungs where it is
needed, ,
tf you can use an inhaler in the
method for which it is designed,
fine. But if you continue to have-
problems
aveproblems such as those mentioned
above, simply using a device
called a 'spacer' may be of great
help: A spacer is a plastic tub into
which the medicine from the
inhaler is released and it retrains
in this space until the patient is
ready to 'breathe fr"om the other
end of the chamber, For young.'
children, a, face ask can;, be.
attached to the end' Of the device to
make of simpler to use: You can
purchase a spacer from your pharr
tnacist and. he will dermonstrate
hove to Use it .properly.
Most of the inhalers which we
dispense contain 200 inhalations:
or puffs, Keep a daily record of.
the nu. tuber of puffs used; By
doing this you will always have a
sufficient supplyof your medicine
on hand and you'won't run out of
it at a'tio when you may tint be
able to get mere, such as when
• you are on vacation, etc, To find
out if yodr inhaler is empty, you
will hear the contents moving
back and forth in the canister.
If you are experiencing any
problems in finding the proper
techniquefor using your inhalers,
