Abstract in brief

  • This article explains the different types of dry powder inhalers (DPIs) used for asthma and COPD, highlighting how their various operating principles can be confusing for both healthcare providers and patients.
  • It notes that most patients can generate the necessary inspiratory flow for high-resistance DPIs, but emphasizes that improper use and poor adherence are common issues that require ongoing patient education and monitoring.
  • The purpose of the paper is to review how DPIs work and to identify key features to consider when selecting the most suitable inhaler for each patient, with support from Orion Pharma.

@DrSeanMon @marinasoltan_ @asthmauk @AsthmaIreland Sort of Sean. Although its not straightforward DPI = low global warming impact. Plastic is an issue, and kids under 7 need pMDI and spacer. The full. Paper gives a better overview. Mentioned in this https://t.co/OkWfvUPAoL

Thinking aloud about Tari H's talk. Maybe we should at least mention that DPIs have a lower environmental impact on climate change. Recently reviewed here (open access). COI disclaimer, funding received from Orion (by me). #ERSCongress #ers2019 @gsk https://t.co/OkWfvUPAoL
