Patient-related variables impacting correct device use
 Pulmonary function and disease stage
 Smoking status, age, sex, being overweight
 Comorbidities
 Manual dexterity
 Ability to understand and follow instructions
 Eyesight
 Psychosocial issues
Fink JB et al. COPD 2013;10: 1-13.
Patient’s inhaler device preference in COPD
 Increased patient satisfaction and preference with a device can
help optimize patient adherence to treatment1,2.
 Factors affecting patient preferences:
 Perceived efficacy of device by patients
 Ability to use a given inhaler easily
 Psychological or physical issues
o Such as comorbidities (neuromuscular disorders and arthritis) can
impact inhaler technique.

Dry Powder Inhaler (DPI)
DPI
MDI
MDI and DPI:
advantages and disadvantages
Advantages
Disadvantages
Portable and compact
Coordination of actuation and inhalation needed
Short treatment time
Most patients inhale too fast
No contamination risk
Important to prime before first use
High reproducibility between doses
Often difficult to determine remaining doses
Spacers available for some devices
Spacers more expensive and less portable
No coordination required
Forceful inhalation needed to aerosolize particles
Not to be used with spacer
More expensive than MDIs
Portable and compact; multi-dose
Only used with drug that is dispensed with the device
devices available
Single-dose devices with doses kept
Must be kept upright or horizontal during inhalation
separately in sealed packs
Breath actuated
Patients not to exhale into device once prepared
Short treatment time
Single devices require repeat loading

Why dry powder inhalers?
 Automatic co-ordination of inhalation and drug release1,2:
– reduces patient errors associated with need to
co-ordinate inhalation and drug release
 Dose counting or low warning (multi-dose DPIs)
– also a feature of newer pMDIs
 Lack of propellant is environmentally friendly3
– although plastics content, electronics (with some devices) and fewer
doses per device may contribute to a less environmentally friendly
profile

Peak inspiratory flow rate (PIFR) Breezhaler was not affected
by COPD severity
• Patients with mild to very severe COPD achieved a flow rate of
≥60 L/min (>18.9 cmH2O pressure drop) using Breezhaler®

Dose Regional Deposition in Lung
• Delivered dose are usually in range of 75%-90% of metered dose.
• FPD/FPM are very much dependent from formulation and delivery system but never 100% of delivered dose.

Impact on adherence
Technique to improve adherence to aerosol medications
 Written explanation and demonstration
 Have patient bring medication to every appointment
and check technique at each visit
 Ask the patient specifically about adherence
 Follow up on unfilled and refilled
 Minimized medications, keep it simple
 Parents need to take responsibility
(> 13 years take medicine independently)
