To ascertain if A/E SHOs checked inhaler technique in asthmatic patients and the frequency of patient education.
Postal questionnaire survey. SUBJECTS A/E SHOs in Northern Ireland and in the Republic of Ireland from January-June 1994.
92 questionnaires were analysed from 25 (71%) hospitals. 61 (66%) SHOs did not check inhaler technique. The main reason given was pressure of work 38 (62%). 32 (33%) and 41 (44%) SHOs had never been shown how to use a turbohaler or a spinhaler respectively. 49 (54%) do not advise regarding the dangers of passive smoking. 29 (32%) do not inform patients of their PEFR. A/E SHOs are often unfamiliar with inhalers and the majority do not routinely check inhaler technique in asthmatic patients. Many aspects of asthmatic patient education are So Often Forgotten Today in the A/E department.
确定急症室住院医生是否检查哮喘患者的吸入器使用技术以及患者教育的频率。
邮寄问卷调查。对象为1994年1月至6月在北爱尔兰和爱尔兰共和国的急症室住院医生。
对来自25家（71%）医院的92份问卷进行了分析。61名（66%）住院医生未检查吸入器使用技术。给出的主要原因是工作压力，有38名（62%）。分别有32名（33%）和41名（44%）住院医生从未有人向他们展示如何使用都保或旋转式吸入器。49名（54%）不就被动吸烟的危害提供建议。29名（32%）不告知患者其呼气峰流速。急症室住院医生通常不熟悉吸入器，大多数人不会常规检查哮喘患者的吸入器使用技术。如今在急症室，哮喘患者教育的许多方面常常被遗忘。
