| | Asthma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A study of "manual therapies" for asthma, including osteopathic, chiropractic, physiotherapeutic and respiratory therapeutic maneuvers, found no evidence to support their use in treating asthma; | | | Another theory is based on the correlation of air pollution and the incidence of asthma. | | | An acute exacerbation of asthma is referred to colloquially as an asthma attack. |

| | About Asthma - The RiteFlo Asthma Spacer |
| | The main therapy for asthma is anti-inflammatory medications. | | | This drug does not alleviate acute asthma attacks and should not be used for the treatment of acute bronchospasm or near fatal asthma. | | | These drugs may have a role in exercise-induced asthma as well as aspirin sensitive asthmatics (patients with nasal polyps, asthma and aspirin sensitivity). |

| | PET Technology Provides Evidence That Spacers Enhance Asthma Drug Delivery; New Study Supports NIH Guidelines for ... |
| | When comparing drug deposition of triamcinolone acetonide with the use of Azmacort's built-in spacer versus drug deposition without a spacer, researchers found on average a 180 percent increase in lung deposition as well as 333, 142 and 113 percent increases in drug deposition to the central, intermediate and peripheral regions of the lungs, respectively. | | | The study demonstrates that use of the Azmacort(R) (triamcinolone acetonide) built-in spacer -- a device designed to enhance drug delivery and minimize local side effects -- increased drug delivery to the lungs 180 percent versus the drug delivered without its spacer. | | | "By showing patients that a spacer helps get more medication to the lungs, rather than the mouth or stomach, patients may have a much better understanding of the role of the spacer," he added. |

| | ASTHMA SPACERS |
| | Spacers help people with asthma to inhale their asthma medication directly into their lower airways, rather than into their throats. | | | Spacers are excellent devices to help improve delivery of inhaled asthma medication to the lungs. | | | The valves within spacers prevent the medication from escaping into the air, allowing you to breathe at your own pace while inhaling the medication. |

| | spacer device comparisons |
| | Spacers are only partly effective in overcoming poor timing in using inhalers: if the inhaler is actuated in exhalation instead of the beginning of inhalation, at least 50% of the dose is lost, even with the better designed spacers (e.g., Aerochamber, Optichamber, Medispacer). | | | A valved chamber with exhalation ports is useful to prevent exhalation into the chamber and allow inhalation of drug remaining in the chamber after the first breath in. | | | Spacer devices have a chamber that receives the aerosol before it is inhaled. |
