简要总结
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a public health problem with great morbidity. The main therapeutic strategy is inhalers. The objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of a tablet-assisted training in the use of inhalers in patients with COPD including ventilatory re-education and video recordings of the patients themselves.
详细描述
The importance of this pathology lies not only in its high prevalence, which is expected to increase due to the aging of society but also in its high mortality. In Europe, it is estimated that 50% of adult patients do not use the inhaler correctly. The clinical development of COPD includes periods of stability interspersed with symptomatic exacerbations, which usually involve hospitalization. During these hospitalizations, respiratory symptoms are worsening.Nevertheless, in Europe, it is estimated that 50% of adult patients do not use the inhaler correctly. Thus, it is very important the pharmacological education in this patients.
