    Dear Experts
    Once upon a time in the recent past there were recommendations to swap
    nebuliser therapy for residents on asthma meds to puffer and spacers. Is
    this still the current recommendation?
    Can someone please direct me to the relevant document. We still have a few
    residents who simply have no respiratory effort or cognitive ability to use
    a spacer.
    Thanks in advance for your help.
