项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Koronis Biomedical Technologies (KBT) proposes to develop an inhaler training system for respiratory educators with the goal of improving patients' use of dry powder inhalers (DPIs) and pressurized metered dose inhalers (pMDIs) appropriately. Studies have repeatedly observed that a significant proportion of inhaler users are not using their inhalers correctly. Inhalers deliver medication directly to the lungs and are widely used to treat asthma and COPD. When correctly administered, inhaled medications are highly effective in reducing morbidity and mortality. Correct inhalation technique is critical for he successful use of pMDIs and DPIs. Yet proper inhaler technique is difficult for patients to maintain and compliance has been shown to deteriorate with time. Improper technique results in suboptimal medication delivery and has significant consequences, including increasing emergency room visits and lower quality of life scores. Frequent re-assessment and retraining has been recommended and it has been shown that training needs to be regularly repeated and reinforced.

描述（由申请人提供）：Koronis生物医学技术（KBT）提议为呼吸教育者开发一种吸入器训练系统，目的是改善患者使用干粉吸入器（DPIS）并适当地使用电表吸入器（PMDIS）。研究反复观察到，很大一部分吸入器使用者未正确使用其吸入器。吸入器将药物直接输送到肺部，并广泛用于治疗哮喘和COPD。正确施用后，吸入药物在降低发病率和死亡率方面非常有效。正确的吸入技术对于成功使用PMDI和DPI至关重要。然而，适当的吸入技术很难使患者保持维持，并且已证明随着时间的推移会恶化。技术不当会导致次优的药物输送，并产生重大后果，包括增加急诊室就诊和降低的生活质量得分。建议经常进行重新评估和再培训，并已表明需要定期重复和加强培训。
