Inhaler personalisation based on peak inspiratory flow (PIF) among dry powder inhaler users: a pilot randomised control trial (RCT) in COPD
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "Journal of Pharmaceutical Policy and Practice"
DOI: 10.1080/20523211.2024.2415425
Abstract: ABSTRACT Background: Dry powder inhalers (DPIs) are commonly used among patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). These inhalers are breath-actuated, and require patients to generate sufficient peak inspiratory flow (PIF) to disaggregate the drug… read more here.

Suboptimal Peak Inspiratory Flow in Patients Hospitalized for COPD Exacerbation: Prevalence and Predictive Factors
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "Journal of Aerosol Medicine and Pulmonary Drug Delivery"
DOI: 10.1089/jamp.2024.0002
Abstract: Introduction: Despite the importance of an adequate peak inspiratory flow (PIF) during inhaled therapy in patients with COPD, the available evidence in patients with severe exacerbations and their evolution after admission is limited. We conducted… read more here.
