Aim:To investigate the efficacy of 2 different education strategies for teaching and maintaining inhaler technique in older patients.
Conclusion:Inhaler technique in older patients is often poor. They are often able to use inhalers correctly when instructed but maintenance of good technique is not prevalent across all devices.In older patients a more structured approach to teaching inhaler technique is no more effective than usual care.
