Zusammenfassung

Die Verschreibung von Inhalativa durch den Arzt erfolgt nicht nur unter pharmakologischen Gesichtspunkten, sondern unter besonderer Berücksichtigung physikalischer Eigenschaften des Inhalationssystems, der speziellen und dosisrelevanten Galenik sowie der individuellen Krankheitssituation bzw. auch der intellektuellen und manuellen Fähigkeiten des Patienten. Die korrekte Handhabung der Systeme muss intensiv geschult und überprüft werden. Dies ist auch in den Disease Management Programmen (DMP) Asthma und COPD so verankert. Ein Austausch von Inhalationssystemen ohne Berücksichtigung der oben genannten Kriterien und ohne erneute Schulung widerspricht allen Empfehlungen nationaler und internationaler Fachgesellschaften und gefährdet die betroffenen Patienten.

Abstract

The prescription of an inhalative therapy by the physician is not only based on pharmacological aspects, but also on the physical characteristics of the inhalation device, the special and dose-relevant galenics as well as on the patient’s individual situation, e. g. disease severity, the intellectual and manual skills. The correct use of the various devices has to be trained and controlled. This approach is also fixed in the Disease Management Programmes (DMP) for asthma and COPD. The substitution of inhalation devices without consideration of the above-mentioned criteria and without retraining is contradictory to all recommendations of national and international respiratory societies and may put the patients at risk.
