Definition / notes:Aerochamber/Aerochamber with Mask
Spacing device for use with a Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI). Consists of a short tube with a mouthpiece (or mask) on one end and a flexible opening for the MDI on the opposite end. The inhalant is propelled into the tube and held until the patient inhales slowly. Beneficial for young children unable to master the timing required for effective use of an MDI expelled directly into the mouth. Additional benefit is that many particles that would otherwise deposit in the patient's mouth and throat are left in the chamber, which can help reduce incidence of thrush. It can also help lessen the bitter taste of some of the stronger inhaled steroids.
