- *Abstract
-
Using an asthma inhaler can be frightening for young children and a concern for caregivers, leading to reduced compliance. Inventors at Nationwide Children’s Hospital have developed a soothing spacer to be used with an asthma inhaler that makes the experience more enjoyable by incorporating lights and music, when the mask is applied to the face properly. Additionally, the vertical design of the spacer allows for one-handed use which lets a parent hold the child with the other hand, while administering the medication.
