Popis:	This study was conducted to evaluate children’s and nurses’ preference among the three breath-actuated devices, TurbuhalerTM (Astra), AutohalerTM (3M) and AccuhalerTM (Glaxo-Wellcome). This was an open study conducted in the paediatric in-patient department of Kwong Wah Hospital, Hong Kong. Subjects over 6 years of age who had not previously used any inhalation devices were recruited. The three devices were in random order. The preferences of subjects and nurses were ranked in a three-point scale. The children had a statistically significant preference for AccuhalerTM, while the nurses preferred to teach both AccuhalerTM and AutohalerTM but not the TurbuhalerTM.
