Objective: to identify which Pressurized Metered-Dose Inhaler with spacer inhalation
techniques have been used in patients with asthma.
Method: this was an integrative review, conducted in January 2018, in the US National Library of
Medicine and Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature databases. 14 articles,
published between January 2011 and December 2017, which contained the description of the
sequence of inhalation technique steps, were selected.
Results: the articles predominantly studied individuals aged 14 years or over and justified
the adoption of the steps of the inhalation technique from literature references. The steps
indicated by each article were reviewed by experts and a quantification of those most cited
was performed, with 15 steps being defined.
Conclusion: the synthesis of the knowledge generated can help healthcare providers in the
proper management of asthma, since it provides evidence related to the efficacy of each step.
