Critical inhaler technique errors in Swedish patients with COPD: a cross-sectional study analysing video-recorded demonstrations

Abstract A correct use of inhaler devices is essential in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) treatment. Critical errors were studied by analysing 659 video-recorded demonstrations of inhaler technique from 364 COPD patients using six different inhaler device models. The majority of the inc...
