    • @inhaledexhaled5460
      @inhaledexhaled5460 11 місяців тому +8

      They recently (last few yrs or smth) found out that about 80% of the dose is lost to the mouth and therefore making the inhaler pretty much useless. Using a spacer (that has been primed) allows for a higher dose intake but still has some lost to the insides of the inhaler.

      ​​@@rowan0331Doctors always show you the basics but people like this always demonstrate the helpful extra details that could potentially save a life but misrepresent the helpful steps physically and visually. It's best to leave it up to your primary care giver and or specialist . And btw I was never told to always use my spacer. I just do it when the situation calls for it. Asthma has different levels before panic. It's hard to explain but you must know your body. It tells when a certain something is needed before panic mode sets in. Every asthmatic should have a specific customized plan in place before having to call for help. Each episode is different for every patient. Lastly, I'm not a doctor but I am a patient. The most important is to stay calm and use the technique you and YOUR doctors have discussed. Praying for all asthmatics out here in the world. It's a feeling no one should ever have to feel. Feels like your last breath is coming. Don't try to talk. calm yourself with deep slow breaths in and out, relax your shoulders, focus on that a few breaths while dropping your heart rate, breathe slow and deeply in and out between inhales and exhales. Give your meds time to do it's job. Remember anxiety fuels your fears and symptoms. If all fails call 911 for full blown emergencies

    In australia we go by hold for 5 seconds. I have cystic fibrosis and when i was younger (im 25) the rule was to take 6 puffs using an inhaler and not shake inbetween. That being a standard dose. I would always be starving, shaking, racing heart and just felt super uncomfortable every time. I always said to everyone it felt wrong but they all said well sorry its what we were told to give you. Now its changed to 6 puffs is an overdose and 2 is the recommended……
