Staff knowledge of inhaler technique improved by survey.
This paper looks at a small project that examines nurses' knowledge of inhaler technique and related issues using a range of inhalers. It identified a lack of knowledge in a specific group of hospital nurses in the range of inhalers available, user techniques and the care and management of such devices. This resulted in individual tuition for nurses on inhaler technique and relevant information being made available.
