Eighty consecutive patients who came to collect their prescriptions for pressurised aerosol inhalers at the Pharmacy of the University Hospital, Kuala Lumpur, were interviewed regarding their use of the pressurised inhaler. Their inhaler technique was also assessed. A significant proportion inhaled the steroid aerosol before the bronchodilator and 23.5% used the steroid inhaler for relief of acute dyspnoea. Only 28.8% of the 80 patients performed correctly all 6 steps necessary for the proper use of inhalers. The most common mistake was the failure to inhale slowly and deeply. Patients who had used the device for more than 5 years performed better, while correct inhaler technique was not dependent on the patient's sex, age or level of education.
在吉隆坡大学医院药房领取加压气雾剂吸入器处方的80名连续患者，就其加压吸入器的使用情况接受了访谈。他们的吸入器使用技术也进行了评估。很大一部分患者在使用支气管扩张剂之前就吸入了类固醇气雾剂，23.5%的患者使用类固醇吸入器来缓解急性呼吸困难。80名患者中只有28.8%正确完成了正确使用吸入器所需的全部6个步骤。最常见的错误是没有缓慢而深入地吸气。使用该设备超过5年的患者表现更好，而正确的吸入器使用技术并不取决于患者的性别、年龄或教育程度。
