Preference Tiotropium Respimat Study in COPD

Cross-sectional Study to Assess the Handling , Patient Satisfaction, and Preference for Inhalation Devices in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).

In COPD the patient's ability to use inhalers correctly and their preference for the inhaler are both important factors in selecting an appropriate treatment for COPD. This is a cross-sectional study where satisfaction, preference and handling of two different devices such as Respimat and Breezhaler will be evaluated by using the validated PASAPQ in COPD patients
