24 Inhaler Misuse = Big Problems! Observational study (n = 1664 adults) evaluating proper inhaler technique Out of 2288 records, critical mistakes in technique noted in 12% MDI, 35% Diskus and HandiHaler, and 44% Turbuhaler users Inhaler misuse associated with: Older age, lower schooling, and lack of instruction by a healthcare professional Increased risk of hospitalization, ER visits, courses of oral steroids and antibiotics, and poor disease control based on symptom questionnaires Melani AS, Bonavia M, Cilenti V et al. Inhaler mishandling remains common in real life and is associated with reduced disease control. Respiratory Medicine (2011): 105,

46 Summary COPD is chronic, progressive, and causes significant morbidity and mortality. Inhaled therapy is a cornerstone of management, and inhaler technique plays a pivotal role in disease state control. New inhaler devices aim to improve adherence and outcomes through updated drug delivery systems. 46

47 Learning Objectives Summarize recommendations from clinical practice guidelines for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) Discuss pharmacotherapy options for COPD Understand and demonstrate proper inhaler technique for new inhaled therapies 47
