La respuesta espirométrica al salbutamol inhalado desde un cartucho presurizado se comparó a la de la inhalación con ayuda de una cámara de aerosol (CA) en 26 pacientes con limitación al flujo aéreo, mediante un diseño doble ciego cruzado. Cinco de los pacientes se excluyeron del análisis por la excesiva variación de su espirometría basal durante el estudio. En 10 de los 21 restantes la técnica inhalatoria era muy defectuosa. En estos 10, el incremento sobre el valor basal a los 10 min de la inhalación desde el cartucho fue 254±172ml (NS) en la FVC y 113±172 ml (NS) en el FEV1; tras inhalar con ayuda de la CA, el aumento fue de 409±267ml (p < 0,001) en la FVC y de 237±160ml (p < 0,001) en el FEV1. En los 11 restantes y en el total de 21 pacientes el aumento post-inhalación fue significativo en las dos ocasiones. Los datos apoyan la utilidad de la CA en los enfermos con dificultad para la correcta inhalación de aeorosoles generados por cartucho presurizado.

Spirometric differences in the effect of salbutamol inhaled from a metered dose inhaler (MDI) with and without an aerosol Holding diamber (AHC) were investigated in 26 patients with airflow iimitation. The study design was double blind, randomised and placebo controlled. Patients were selected because their regularly faulty inhalation technique. Five of them were excluded from the analysis because their basal FEV1 value varied ≥ 15% during the study period. In of the 21 remaining patients, the inhalation manoeuvre was very poor. In 10 them, the mean postsalbutamol change was 254±172ml (NS) for the FVC and 113±172ml (NS) for the FEV1. When the inhalation was performed with the AHC, mean post-salbutamol changes were 409±267ml (p < 0.001) for the FVC and 237±160ml (p <0.001) for the FEV1. As opposed to these, mean changes in the whole group of 21 patients were significant for both inhalations, with and without the AHC. The data of the present study support the usefulness of the AHC in patients with poor inhalation technique.
