title: [Correct Inhalation Therapy for Patients with Cystic Fibrosis Provided by Internet-based Video Clips of the German Airway League].
abstract: Adolescents and young adults with cystic fibrosis (CF) are increasingly having difficulties to take over the complete responsibility for their daily treatment. Particularly inhalative therapy poses special problems. In order to overcome this unsatisfactory situation typically occurring during this vulnerable period, the German Airway League has now created a poster "Correct Inhalation Therapy For Patients With Cystic Fibrosis", according to the model presented by this League already in 2013 for correct inhalation under certain disease conditions. This give an opportunity to adolescents and young adults with CF to obtain anonymously, independently of time and location, autonomously and in a time-saving manner information on correct inhalative treatment. Adolescents and young adults with CF can thus be actively supported on their way to independence. Furthermore, the video clips and the poster offer support physicians, nurses and physiotherapists and can be employed in training of all involved persons in inhalation techniques.
