Abstract in brief

The study evaluated how well asthma patients could generate correct peak inspiratory flow rates (PIFR) at different inhaler resistances, finding that most patients can use high-resistance dry powder inhalers (DPIs), but many fail to breathe in fast enough for pressurized metered dose inhalers (pMDIs).
Key factors influencing PIFR success included gender, age, current inhaler type, and asthma severity, with females and older patients more likely to succeed at high resistance but males and younger patients at low resistance.
The results suggest that clinicians should consider patient-specific factors when recommending inhalers, as a significant portion of patients, especially those using pMDIs, may not generate optimal inhalation flows, impacting medication delivery.]
