As current MDIs contain hydrofluorocarbon propellants, it would be beneficial to find ways to reduce carbon emissions without compromising patient safety.

This lab study investigated a way to optimize the modelled lung dose per actuation while at the same time minimizing the carbon emissions from the MDI

Asthma control and global warming are important issues that have significant impacts on human health and the environment.

It is critical however to ensure that maintaining or improving the patient’s asthma control goes hand in hand with environmental actions.

This lab study investigated how to optimize the modelled lung delivery while at the same time minimizing the carbon emissions from the MDI.

This study was presented at the British Thoracic Society Winter Meeting 2022.

So why aren’t they used more widely?

A new review suggests that wider use of OPEP devices could reduce exacerbations and reduce hospital visits.
