A longitudinal open prospective study involving 100 pediatricians from 4 different health institutions was performed. After a written description of inhaler technique was provided and a special questionnaire, physicians were asked to demonstrate the technique using a placebo MDI. Correct use was considered if 10 points were obtained. Thirty pediatricians used MDI in children less than 5 years. The correct written description was observed in 55% (55/100) but 32.7% (18/55) failed to use it properly. Although 45% (45/100) made an incorrect description 25% (25/45) demonstrated a describe previous reports which describe that more than half the physicians ignore the correct steps of inhaler technique. Moreover this lack of information appears to be one of the most important factors which affect self-management of acute and chronic symptoms of asthma in which have contributed to the increased morbidity/mortality of the disease since 1980.
开展了一项纵向开放性前瞻性研究，涉及来自4个不同医疗机构的100名儿科医生。在提供了吸入器技术的书面描述并发放一份特殊问卷后，要求医生使用安慰剂定量吸入器演示该技术。如果获得10分，则认为使用正确。30名儿科医生在5岁以下儿童中使用定量吸入器。55%（55/100）的医生有正确的书面描述，但其中32.7%（18/55）未能正确使用。尽管45%（45/100）的医生描述错误，但25%（25/45）演示正确。先前的报告描述，超过一半的医生忽视吸入器技术的正确步骤。此外，这种信息缺乏似乎是影响哮喘急性和慢性症状自我管理的最重要因素之一，自1980年以来，这一因素导致了该疾病发病率/死亡率的上升。
