Asthma Videos
All children, regardless of age, should use a spacer with their asthma inhalers. This is because spacers maximize the amount of medicine that reaches the child’s lungs. As a result, the medication is much more effective. Our office is stocked with spacers, ask your pediatrician for one when you are here.
This video demonstrates how to use a
SPACER WITH A MASK (This is for young children who are less than 8 years old). This video is a

This video demonstrates how to use a
SPACER WITHOUT A MASK (For older children who are able to hold their breath for at least 10 seconds).
