Inhaler Device Technique: Spacer

People of all ages should use a spacer whenever they use a pressurised metered dose inhaler (pMDI) puffer, especially children and older adults. Spacers with pMDIs are commonly prescribed for individuals managing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in Australia. Correct inhaler technique is essential to ensure that the medication reaches the lungs effectively, helping to control symptoms and improve lung function.
