Easyhaler

Overview: Inhaler devices Inhaler devices. Thorax 2003; 58 (Suppl I): i1-i92 pMDI + spacer is preferred delivery method in children aged 0-5 years pMDI + spacer is as effective as other delivery methods for other age groups Choice of inhaler should be based on patient preference and ability to use

Multidosing Multiple puffs(up to 10) of a short-acting ß2 agonist via a spacer device is as effective as nebulised Children(and adults) with mild and moderate exacerbation of asthma should be treated by bronchodilator given from a pMDI + spacer with doses titrated according to clinical response

Summary: Paediatric asthma Inhaled steroids are the recommended preventer drug In children >5 years, add inhaled long acting ß 2 agonists rather than increasing the dose of inhaled steroids above 400mcg/day pMDI + spacer is preferred delivery method in children aged 0-5 years, and as effective as other delivery methods for other age groups
