Great video! I often get asked why we need a physician's order to dispense spacers? Well, I say it's a piece of medical equipment. Otherwise I haven't been told anything else.

#jimmymckanna my hospital used a link of 6 inch long corrugated plastic tubing as a spacer. I actually teach my pts almost exactly how you did here. And although I didn't learn in rt school, I did learn as a mother of 2 mild intermittent asthma kids that you can use the toilet paper tubes or even a small styrofoam cup with a hole on the bottom worked. (I was in rt school, but didn't learn it from my classes)

This is great information. My doctor prescribed the Symbicort inhaler without giving any instructions as to how it should be used and said nothing about a spacer. I've done some reading on my own and now have a spacer. Big difference.! In a future video, please address nebulizer usage.

Should we clean the canister and spacker with warm water?

[@rtclinic]

I believe the instructions call for warm, soapy water and periodically a vinegar/ water solution
