“What exactly was your experience?”

I have to use the inhaler two to three times rather than once in order to get the meds inhaled.

“Why “useless” with the spacer?”

There isn’t enough “ump” to get the inhaled medication into the inhaler in one dose. Then it isn’t aerosolized enough to inhale from the spacer.

I’m fortunate in that I have access to corrugated respiratory tubing (I work in a Peds clinic, and when we give nebs to babies and toddlers, we give it via mask; thus, the corrugated plastic tubing that’s usually placed on the end of the “T” piece on top of the neb cup get’s thrown out). My son uses it as a “spacer”; it’s smaller in diameter than an Aerochamber, yet long enough to work well. If you can get one, you should try it out.
