Abstract

Pressurized metered dose inhalers (PMDI) are the cornerstone of treatment patients with asthma and COPD. However, their usage is reportedly suboptimal in patients and data for the Iranian patients is not available.Objective: To determine correct or incorrect use of PMDI by patients and related factors.Method: PMDI use by 360 consecutive adult patients was observed and marked on a checklist, and data about possible associated factors have been obtained through questionnaires.Results: From direct observation, only 15 patients (4.2%) correctly inhaled PMDI in all steps. 88.4% of patients had incorrect use in at least 3 steps of the PMDI use. 11.7%, 45.8%, 42.5% of the patients performed correctly the 6-8, 3-5, and 0-2 steps of the use of PMDI, respectively. Factors that were positively associated with the correct use were educational level, duration of use of PMDI, and numbers of hospitalizations.Conclusion: PMDI usage is more suboptimal in Iranian patients than western countries. Further interventions are required to improve PMDI usage, and import of other forms of inhalers which need less coordination and are easier than PMDI for application.
