How to Use an Inhaler (With Spacer and Mask)
Denver Health's Kids Asthma Team (pediatrics) demonstrates the standard (accepted) technique for using an asthma inhaler with a spacer and mask. The most common way to take asthma medicine is with an inhaler, which is then sprayed out and breathed deep into the lungs.

In this instructional video about asthma in children, you will see a simple, nine-step process to making sure your child gets the medicine they need.
