Instruction and training of patients in the use of pressurized aerosols require a well-trained medical personal. This study was designed to analyze the quality of information about pressurize aerosols in medical personal responsible of patient training. Only 20% of the observed trainers made a correct instruction, whereas 63% made more than two mistakes. Primary care nurses had a 100% index of correct training. As indicated in other studies, our result reveals a high index of incorrect training in the use of pressurizes aerosols by medical personnel, and this finding is more frequent ill hospital staff than in primary care personnel.
