Matching the inhaler to the patient with COPD
This e-Learning is divided into 6 sections, each one with their own theme. First, we introduce the wide range of inhalers available and the differences between de different (types of) inhalers. We then focus on how to match the inhaler to your patient with COPD. For making this decision, we consider important parameters such as inspiratory effort, PIF measurement and inhalation technique. Finally, we also evaluate adherence as an important factor.
Matching the inhaler to the patient with COPD
Deze e-Learning is verdeeld in 6 onderdelen, met elk hun eigen thema. Eerst introduceren we het brede aanbod aan inhalatoren en de verschillen tussen de (types) inhalatoren. Daarna focussen we op het vinden van de juiste inhalator voor uw patiënt met COPD. Voor deze keuze nemen we belangrijke parameters mee, zoals inademingskracht, een PIF-meting en inhalatietechniek. Tenslotte bespreken we ook therapietrouw als belangrijk aandachtspunt.
