This study shows the relevance of inspiratory flow and the degree of particle deposition in the lung in the choice of an inhalation device for COPD management, as well as the convenience of an SMI type device in cases of low inspiratory flow. Moreover, it highlights the scarcity of information on the specific features of inhalation devices in COPD guidelines.
