The metered-dose inhaler (MDI) is a miracle of modern technology, but its use can be burdened with problems. Although it is a small, multidose, portable, safe, efficient, and cost-effective way to deliver inhaled medications, a majority of patients do not use the MDI correctly. The inability to coordinate actuation with inhalation and poor compliance, with both over- and under-use, are the most common problems. Understanding and dealing with the barriers to effective MDI use are essential to optimal care of patients with obstructive airways disease.
定量吸入器（MDI）是现代技术的一项奇迹，但它的使用可能会出现问题。尽管它是一种小巧、多剂量、便于携带、安全、高效且经济实惠的吸入药物给药方式，但大多数患者并未正确使用MDI。无法将按压动作与吸气动作协调一致以及依从性差（包括用药过量和用药不足）是最常见的问题。了解并解决有效使用MDI的障碍对于阻塞性气道疾病患者的最佳治疗至关重要。
