What is a valved holding chamber ("VHC")?

Valved holding chambers are devices designed for use with metered-dose inhalers (MDI). Their purpose is to improve medication delivery, decrease deposition of medication in the mouth and throat, and eliminate the need to coordinate activating the MDI with inhaling the medication.

Holding chambers have valves that prevent medication loss during exhalation by allowing air to flow through the chamber only during inspiration. For children with asthma, an MDI with a holding chamber may be easier to use and more effective than an MDI alone.
