MEDICAL ANIMATION TRANSCRIPT: People who have lung conditions like asthma or COPD often take their medications using a hand held device called a Metered-Dose Inhaler or MDI, with a spacer. A Metered-Dose Inhaler sprays medicine through your mouth so that it can reach your airways. If your inhaler is not used the right way, some medicine may remain in the back of your mouth and not reach your airways where it is needed. This video will show you the general steps for correctly using an inhaler with a spacer. It's important to follow the instructions that came with your Metered-Dose Inhaler and spacer. A Metered-Dose Inhaler has three main parts: the mouthpiece cover, the mouthpiece, and the medicine container. A spacer helps get more medicine into your airways. The spacer attaches to your inhaler's mouthpiece. It also has a mouthpiece and a cap. Before using your Metered-Dose Inhaler, remove the mouthpiece cap and shake the inhaler. Next, remove the cap from the spacer and make sure it's clean inside. If this is the first time you are using your inhaler or if you haven't used it in a while, you will need to prime it before placing it in the spacer. Check the instructions for how and when to do this with your inhaler. Attach your spacer to your inhaler. When you're ready to use your inhaler, stand or sit up straight. Breathe in deeply and breathe out completely to empty your lungs. Put the spacer's mouthpiece in your mouth between your teeth and above your tongue, then close your lips around the mouthpiece to form a tight seal. Press down firmly on the top of your inhaler to release one puff of medicine into the spacer and breathe in as slowly and as deeply as you can. If you hear a whistling sound, you are breathing in too quickly. It is recommended that you hold your breath for approximately a count of 10. Finally, breathe out slowly through your mouth. If your medicine dose requires two puffs, you may need to wait before taking the second puff. Follow the instructions that came with your inhaler to know how long to wait between puffs. After using a steroid inhaler, rinse out your mouth with water and spit it out. It's important to clean your inhaler and spacer so that they work properly. Check the instructions for your inhaler and spacer for the right way to clean them. Proper use of your Metered-Dose Inhaler may help you control the symptoms of your lung condition and improve your daily living. So if you have questions about the use of your inhaler, talk to your health care provider or pharmacist.

Went to the emergency today. I used this inhaler for the first time, but forgot even after the doctor told me! I am very happy to receive your advice from the TH-cam. It really helped me a lot and everyone will get benefit. Thank you very much.😍👍😊
Thank goodness for the clarity of this video compared to the confusing user instructions that came with it.
This was very helpful! Several other videos we watched were not as clear on how to use the spacer. This video was very clear and easy to understand especially for someone that has never used an inhaler of any kind, must less one with the spacer. Thank you so much for this video.
recently got diagnosed with asthma. Happy to know my sister have it growing up so i know what it’s like she was severe well in moderate!
10/10 very helpfull very easy to understand unlike most of the other videos with very loud music and complicated body language 👍
The best demonstration I’ve seen.
It's incorrect advice
Thank you. Turns out I have been doing it wrong lol. Breathing in and out quickly a few times which caused spacer to make whistle sound.
Thank you for the help
That’s crazy this was how they told me to do in the hospital smh
@BossNBudget yeah , me too!
This would be very helpful for people having COPD and asthma

Thank you for this tutorial! I do have a question. Should my inhaler stay attached to the spacer now always? Or should I remove it?
You should remove it and clean it after every use.

Madam it is important
Why spacer is needed ? I use only inhaler from last more then 25 years. What is difference between with spacer as you shown here and to inhale without spacer, please guide me as I am asthama patient. I am 80 years of age.
Reduce chances of Oral candidiasis mainly in those with poor oral hygiene

Hello! A spacer is recommended for people of all ages. It helps to get more medicine down in your lower airways, which will give you relief much faster. Using the MDI alone will have you with more of the medicine in your mouth and not going to the proper organs once swallowed. A spacer also holds the medicine in the chamber for 10 seconds, making it easier for the patient to just breathe in slow and deep. As you know, using the MDI, you have to breathe in really fast once you press on the canister and release the meds. I'd definitely recommend you talking to a Respiratory Therapist. They will definitely teach you the proper way and let you know the spacer is the only way to go. 😀

Silly doctor said don’t use my inhaler before allergy test but I could get sick or die do you think I should listen?
lol i didn’t i kept it so they can have good test results. I tested moderate so ain’t bad but enough for daily doses
I just gotAlbuterol Sulfate for the first time since I have Boncaitus dose it taste like bad fruit to anyone else it makes me want to vomit when using my inhale.
❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you
I just got my inhaler and my nurse told me to look up a video on how to use it this was very helpful
Thank you so much for information sharing
*me who already knows how to use a spacer*:
✨interesting✨
Excellently described without any unnecessary music or mumbling
Thanks for the great video instructions!
I do like this video of yours..simple with nice instructions
Incorrect medical advice. When using your medication and spacer you release one puff and then breathe in and out gently 4 TIMES. Then you repeat as required following the same directions.
Thanks i was just given my new Spacer and inhaler and no help the steroids made me cough at first hence was doing it wrong.
If we keep our head up then it might go to our throats n the medicine has no effect right?. But if i keep head straight then i feel like it will leak down to my tissue and goto waste . What to do 🥲
I did it wrong now I have to wait 4 hours to try again.
Good video
Tnx for the good video this video is helpful for us
where can you get a spacer?
Order it online.
Shoppers Drug Mart’s Pharmacy
Nice video ☺️📸
Thanks
I just can't seem to feel it going down all i end up with is a dry mouth after risning still .i clasp it tighly but still feel nothing what am i doing wrong and its hard to nit breath fast if needing to take it cos breathing fast ...but even when u do breath slowwr it still feels like its not gone down and still a very dry mouth.
Is there any side effect of using an albuterol inhaler? If I feel trouble in breathing?
No, if you need it, you should take it. Side effects, if would exist, only temporarily, and not anything major. Such as fast heart rate.
What are the side effects? I'm worried
@@dontgetmewrong4317 Thank you for your valuable information 🙂🤍
@@4QBI don’t be worried, breathing normally should be your priority. Side effects will not be anything horrible otherwise the product wouldn’t be used so often. However if you do want to inform yourself just take a look at the prescription
@@4QBI for me I get really shaky hats a common one and a fast heart rate
Why does it always make a whistle sound when I’m using it
That means you're inhaling to fast or hard. It's mentioned in the video.
Breathing too fast .Try slow and deep. Recap mouth piece rest and then take another breath.Chamber captures meditation so you don’t lose in the air. Hope this helps.
