Incorrect inhalation technique is common in patients with COPD in primary care

• The results show that many patients don’t use the inhaler correctly. Errors related to inhalation technique were twice as common as those related to devices. When teaching patients to use the inhalers it seems like there is a need to focus more on the inhalation technique itself. The checklist used in this study needs to be further improved.
