Ambulatory criteria of dry powder inhaler selection based on peak inspiratory flow recordings

In 185 patients (106 with asthma and 79 with COPD) peak inspiratory flow (PIFR) without resistance and across valves of popular in Poland dry powder inhalers (DPI): Discus, Turbuhaler and Aerolizer were recorded. "In-Check" device was used for these purposes. Clement-Clarke principle of mi...

More Information
Summary:In 185 patients (106 with asthma and 79 with COPD) peak inspiratory flow (PIFR) without resistance and across valves of popular in Poland dry powder inhalers (DPI): Discus, Turbuhaler and Aerolizer were recorded. "In-Check" device was used for these purposes. Clement-Clarke principle of minimal and optimal PIFR for lung drug deposition was accepted. According to this principle the results were presented on the attached table: [table: see text] Almost all patients with asthma and COPD can use Discus effectively, for other DPI's "In Check" investigation is often necessary.
