Summary
This study looked at whether teaching children (ages 2-15) with bronchospasm and their families how to properly use inhaler chambers can cut down on repeat emergency room visits. Half of the 121 participants received special education on inhaler use, while the other half got standard care. Researchers tracked how often each group needed emergency care at 1, 3, and 6 months after the training.
