@singhdaljit91 Please cite your source for this information. Apart from using specifically-designed spacers, all pulmonary inhalers are designed to be used with the mouthpiece in the mouth
If you do not place the mouthpiece in your mouth, or use a specially-designed spacer, you will not receive the correct dose of drug.
All pulmonary inhalers (as opposed to nasal inhalers) are designed so that the patient puts their mouth around the mouthpiece. Google "Ventolin patient information leaflet" for example instructions.
You would fail your skill sets in your EMT practical exam if you did not instruct the patient to place his/her lips around the inhaler. Inhale and compress inhaler simultaneously holding in the breath (Medication) for 10 seconds.
Since the medication comes out at about 70mph some of it will get stuck on the back of your mouth causing some of it to be swallowed. What can happen is you can develop thrush in your airway. Just think about it for a sec. If an aerosol treatment was propelled up to 70mph into your mouth only a small portion would reach your bronchioles. And the rest would be where? btw it is VERY important to wash out your mouth if you use an inhaled steroid. Those side effects I think are worse... Just my .02
in your mouth the puff shoots at 60 mph and would hit the back of your throat causing u to swallow some of it, that's what makes your heart to start beating so fast and tremors. If you use it two finger spaces away while u breath then you're inhaling the particles into the lungs where it's supposed to be. since i started using it the new way i've definitely seen a reduction in like the shakiness i used to get after using my inhaler. I'll try to find a link for you and get back to u.
i have suffered severe asthma all my life, and that is the first i have heard on this technique. Could you please pot a link to some legitimate information on it. I'm curious abut the side effects you speak of, i have never noticed any dramatic side effects. Also, If people get better absorbtion of the medication uding the 2 finger technique, i am puzzled as to how this reduces the 'side effects' . Seems a bit psuedoscientific to me.

Step 4 is wrong.
My job is designing inhalers.
