We interviewed 50 primary care pediatricians and family physicians in order to assess their skills in instructing patients on the proper use of inhalers. Although 36 of them claimed that they were personally instructing their patients, major defects in their skills were observed. Whereas only 3 could personally perform all seven essential steps of an inhalation maneuver correctly, 20 failed on three to seven steps. Twelve failed on all steps. It is suggested that inadequate patient instruction by physicians may play a significant role in the incorrect use of inhalers by asthmatic children.
我们采访了50名初级保健儿科医生和家庭医生，以评估他们指导患者正确使用吸入器的技能。尽管其中36人声称他们亲自指导患者，但仍观察到他们技能上的重大缺陷。只有3人能够正确亲自完成吸入动作的所有七个基本步骤，20人在三到七个步骤上失败。12人在所有步骤上均失败。有人认为，医生对患者指导不足可能在哮喘儿童吸入器使用不当方面起重要作用。
