The use of video as a method of instructing subjects on correct inhaler technique was compared with the written and personal instruction of 150 volunteer subjects with no previous experience of such a device. Video was found to be as effective as personal tuition by a pharmacist and significantly (P less than 0.05) superior to the manufacturer's package insert in teaching correct inhaler. Asthmatic patients found the video useful at identifying mistakes they were making and felt that this approach to their education should be more widely available. http://www.mrw.interscience.wiley.com/cochrane/clcentral/articles/169/CN-00338169/frame.html Audiovisual demonstration for patient counseling in the use of pressurized aerosol bronchodilator inhalers.
