Abstract：Objective:To summarize the best evidence on inhalation therapy management of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)and provide a scientific basis for clinical medical staff and COPD patients who underwent home-based inhalation therapy.Methods:Relevant literature,including guidelines,expert consensus or expert opinion,evidence summary,and systematic review on inhalation therapy of COPD patients,were retrieved from databases.Researchers who were trained in evidence-based courses conducted a quality evaluation of the included literature.The evidence was extracted and integrated based on their professional knowledge to form the best evidence summary.Results:A total of 18 articles,including 10 guidelines,7 expert consensus articles,and 1 evidence summary,were finally included.A total of 33 pieces of best evidence were summarized from 8 aspects:the selection of inhalant devices,the selection of inhalant drugs,post-inhalant therapy management,the selection of atomized inhalation methods,aerosolization inhaled drug guidance,management during aerosol inhalation,the impact between non-invasive ventilation and atomization,and management after aerosol inhalation.Conclusions:The formed best evidence for inhalation therapy management in COPD patients provides an evidence-based basis for the correct clinical implementation of aerosol inhalation procedures and the correct use of inhalation therapy for patients and their caregivers.
