D202 rescue medication use and inhalation patterns during asthma exacerbations recorded by digihaler

Inhalation parameters, such as peak inspiratory flow (PIF) and inhalation volume, are correlated to inhaler technique for dry powder inhalers (DPIs) and could be markers of worsening disease. Digihaler, a multi-dose DPI with an integrated electronic module, delivers 90mcg albuterol/dose, records date/time stamps and inhalation profile parameters when used. This paper summarizes albuterol use patterns and inhalation parameters during ±14-day window around clinical asthma exacerbations (CAEs).
