The Ability of Children to Use Dry Powder Inhalers

Abstract

Objective: Dry powder inhalers DPIs are used in children with increased frequency, since no coordination between actuation and inhalation is required and the devices can easily be carried around.Material and Methods: The aim of this study was to measure the peak inspiratory flow PIF in 20 asthmatic 5F, 15M and 39 15 F, 24 M healthy school children aged 6 to 8 years, and to evaluate the applicability of DPI in this age group. Children with mild to moderate asthma were included in the study. PIF was performed by means of In-Check Dial Clement Clarke International, UK . Pulmonary function tests including FEV1 and PEF were performed. Results: For the asthmatic group median FEV1, PEF and PIF and related percentages were 91.6 28.5% , 82.4 21.1% and 78.8 26.4 L/min, respectively. For the healthy controls, the respective measurements were 89.5 14.7% , 81.7 16.0% and 81.2 20.2 L/min. Ranges for the asthmatics were 40 L/min to 120 L/min, and 45 to 120 for the healthy controls A positive correlation between PIF and FEV1 p
