Abstract

Introduction: Improper Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI)-spacer use technique can result in less than optimal delivery of medicine to the lungs and poor asthma outcomes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of standardized education on proper MDI-spacer use and asthma control in children with asthma and to identify the factors associated with these results.
