First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a short, step-by-step training program helps parents use inhalers correctly for their children in the emergency department. About 80 mothers of children with shortness of breath will be taught using demonstration and practice, then evaluated on their technique. The goal is to see if structured education improves inhaler use and may lead to better breathing outcomes.
