Water Bottle MDI Spacer in a Low Resource Environment

In this video we demonstrate how to create a spacer for an albuterol MDI from a plastic water bottle. This is an excellent work around when you need an MDI spacer in a low resource environment.

Great idea! I also used a water bottle as a sharps container in the Philippines after typhoon Haiyan. Just cut off the top part, invert it into the bottle
