 Asthma deaths in Australia & how Asthma affects the airways for First Aid understanding & management
Your doctor should confirm with you the correct use of your asthma inhaler. Please ask your doctor to check your technique, even if you think you know how to use it. This
will help ensure you’re prescribed the right style of inhaler to suit you, and you are using it correctly to receive a proper dose of medication.

Asthma demonstrating the use of a spacer for First Aid emergency management
Adults & adolescents are recommended to always use a spacer with their puffer. All children should use a spacer to take their medicine, for both reliever & preventer puffers. Using a spacer with your reliever medicine in an asthma flare-up is as effective as or even better than using a nebuliser for most people. It’s faster, easier, & less likely to cause side effects, says Asthma Australia

Asthma, Keep our kids safe

If anyone with Asthma has an action plan, we should follow it as it is designed for their needs. If no plan follow the 4 x 4 x 4 technique & if it's not asthma no harm is likely to result from giving a "reliever' inhaler to someone without asthma.
For those with Asthma winter can be a difficult time,when they may find the changes impacting upon quality of life. keep an eye out for your loved ones. Managing changes can B-the Difference so B-Ready!
Using a spacer is essential for children and beneficial for Adults especially with their reliever medication. Always shake the puffer before you use it, in an up and down motion, not side to side otherwise the medication and propellant don't mix evenly and an inaccurate dose is the result. Even if you are in doubt as to how serious a flare up or attack is, better always to administer Ventolin than to have it rapidly become worse.
