===With spacer=== Spacer is placed at the mouthpiece of a meter-dosed inhaler while keeping mouth at the end of the spacer. After pressing the canister of the inhaler, the medicine will linger inside the spacer, allowing for the user of the inhaler to directly absorb medicine into their lungs.<ref name="nationwidechildrens-spacer-and-mouthpiece">{{cite web | url=https://www.nationwidechildrens.org/family-resources-education/health-wellness-and-safety-resources/resources-for-parents-and-kids/how-to-use-an-epipen/epinephrine-myths-and-facts/how-to-use-an-inhaler-with-a-spacer-and-mouthpiece | title=How to Use an Inhaler with a Spacer and Mouthpiece }}</ref> Deep breathing is done to be ready for the delivery of the medicine to the lungs; this minimizes need for coordination of breathing with inhaler activation.<ref name=":0" /> Cleanage of the spacer regularly with warm soapy water is recommended.<ref name="nationwidechildrens-spacer-and-mouthpiece" /><ref name="asthma-nz-foundation" />
