Brief Summary: This study analyzes the prevalence of patients using inhalation devices via incorrect technique and access the adherence of patients to correct inhalation technique when taught along with their subjective improvement of symptoms.
Detailed Description: This is a one group pretest- posttest design conducted in all patients presenting in Chest clinic of Dhulikhel Hospital-Kathmandu University Hospital, Nepal from March 2017 to May 2017. Patients diagnosed of having COPD, Asthma or Asthma-COPD Overlap Syndrome (ACOS) and were under inhalation bronchodilators in the form of Dry Powder Device via Rotahaler were included. Enrolled patients are assessed for inhalation technique compliance at their routine medical (pre-training) visits by physician. The use of inhaler device is evaluated in a practical manner by asking the patients to demonstrate their inhalation technique. After the assessment, instructions and training are given until they can use the device correctly. One month later (post-training), all patients are re-evaluated in regards to inhalation technique and subjective improvement of symptoms.
