Resumo: | Introduction: In Portugal, asthma is a very common disease, particularly in pediatric age, and many children are treated with medications delivered by inhalation devices. It is known that child inhaler technique is often throughout the world. Aim: The aim of this paper is to describe the performance of asthmatic child device technique in a Portuguese children hospital in the city of Porto, (Centro Materno-Infantil do Norte - CMIN). Methods: The authors assessed inhalation device technique of children aged 6 to 18 years, according to standardized checklists, (similar to those on the Aerosol Drug Management Improvement Team (ADMIT) Website) between September and October 2016, during follow-up of pediatric pneumology consultations in CMIN. Results: Twenty one children met the inclusion criteria and 22 inhalation devices assessments were made. The majority (86%) used dry-powder inhalers; the most common error was failure to exhale before actuation (in 61%). Discussion/Conclusion: Our results confirm a relatively high percentage of children failing in their performance in the use of the inhalation devices. Pediatricians and primary care physicians should assess the inhalation technique of asthmatic children regularly, in order to ensure a good asthma control in the pediatric age. |

Sabe-se que a técnica inalatória é frequentemente feita de forma incorreta um pouco por todo o mundo. Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo foi o de avaliar a técnica inalatória de crianças num hospital pediátrico na cidade do Porto (Centro Materno-Infantil do Norte - CMIN). Métodos: Os autores avaliaram a técnica inalatória de crianças dos 6 aos 18 anos de acordo com checklists standardizadas (semelhantes as descritas em Aerosol Drug Management Improvement Team (ADMIT) Website) entre setembro e outubro de 2016 durante consultas de seguimento de crianças em consulta de pneumologia pediátrica, no CMIN. Resultados: Vinte e uma crianças possuíam os critérios de inclusão e foram realizadas 22 avaliações de dispositivos. A maioria das crianças usava um inalador de pó seco (86%), 61% destas não exalando o volume residual, previamente à inalação, sendo este o erro mais comum. Discussão/Conclusão: Verificou-se uma alta percentagem de crianças com erros na sua técnica inalatória, sendo esses resultados concordantes com a literatura. Os pediatras e médicos de família devem avaliar regularmente a técnica inalatória da criança asmática, a fim de garantir um correto uso do dispositivo inalatório, contribuindo deste modo para o controlo da asma em idade pediátrica.Centro Hospitalar Universitário do Porto2018-10-17T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://doi.org/10.25753/BirthGrowthMJ.v27.i3.11983eng2183-9417Pinto, Pedro TiagoJeri, MiguelBarbosa, Telmainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2022-09-21T14:55:25Zoai:ojs.revistas.rcaap.pt:article/11983Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T15:56:24.004432Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
