Patient was educated on the spacers as follows:

1. Spacer is a long tube used to hold the aerosol medication released from the inhaler, until you can breathe it in.
2. Spacer is also known as aerosol-holding device or add-on device and are used for aerosol medications and steroid inhalers.
3. As the medication travels along the length of the tube, spacers slow the delivery of medication released from the inhalers.
4. Delay in the delivery of the medication allows time to take a deep breath to inhale the medication and thus reduces wastage of the medication.
5. Spacers especially help with kids and senior citizens, who have difficulty in coordinating pressing on the canister and starting to breathe in.
