Objectives This presentation will demonstrate the various respiratory devices and inhaled medications available for use in the treatment of asthma. Different ways of using the MDI will be explained and illustrated. The various spacer devices available for the MDI will be exhibited and participants will be allowed to use them. Presently available dry powder devices (DPI's) will be reviewed and their advantages pointed out. Proper use of DPI's will be taught. A new combination powder controller medication (salmeterol/fluticasone) delivered by a DPI will be mentioned. If time permits, new delivery devices/systems (e.g., new devices "in the pipeline") will be shown. Finally, all of the inhaled medications will be available for the audience to taste and try; costs of these medications will be discussed.
