The In-Check-Dial (Alliance Tech Medical, Granburg, TX) was used to determine adequacy of inhalation techniques and teaching of two different devices. Retention of adequate techniques, was assessed in 234 moderate to severe asthmatics. Inhalation techniques were assessed at periodic follow-ups divided into less than 1 month return visit, between 1 and 3 months, 3 to less than 6 months, and 6 months to less than 1 year. Proper inhalation techniques worsened at greater than 3 months after the last instruction. The use of the In-Check-Dial is a useful tool in teaching proper technique and monitoring the patient's ability to correctly use inhalation devices.
使用In-Check-Dial（联合技术医疗公司，得克萨斯州格兰堡）来确定两种不同吸入装置的吸入技术是否恰当以及教学效果。对234名中重度哮喘患者的恰当技术保持情况进行了评估。在定期随访时评估吸入技术，随访时间分为少于1个月的复诊、1至3个月、3至少于6个月以及6个月至少于1年。在上次指导后超过3个月时，正确的吸入技术变差。In-Check-Dial的使用是教授正确技术和监测患者正确使用吸入装置能力的有用工具。
