The burden of asthma is becoming greater as communities adopt western lifestylesand become urbanised. Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways that causes airway hyper responsiveness, mucosal edema and mucus production. It differs from other obstructive lung disorders in that it is largely reversible, eitherspontaneously or with treatment. This inflammation ultimately leads to recurrent episodes of asthma symptoms; cough, chest tightness, wheezing and dyspnea. Patients with asthma may experience symptom free periods alternating with acute exacerbations that last from minutes to hours or days. Asthma is the most commonchronic disease of childhood and can occur at any age, Allergy is the strongest predisposing factor for asthma. Chronic exposure to airway irritants or allergens also increases the risk of asthma. Common allergens can be seasonal (grass, tree and weed) or perennial (mold, dust, roaches, animal dandler). Common triggers for asthma symptoms and exacerbations include airway irritants (air pollutants, cold, heat, weather changes, strong odors or perfumes, smoke), exercise, stress or emotional upset, sinusitis with postnasal drip, medications, viral respiratory tract infections and gastro esophageal reflux A Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI) is a device that delivers a specific amount of medication to the lungs, in the form of a short burst of aerosolized medicine that is usually self-administered by the patient via inhalation. It is the most commonly used delivery system for treating asthma, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and other respiratory diseases.The objective of the study is to assess the knowledge and technique regarding the Usage of metered dose inhaler and evaluate the effectiveness teaching regarding metered dose inhaler.
