Several tests may be needed to tell what is causing your symptoms. These tests include spirometry (to measure how open your airways are), a chest x-ray, an electrocardiogram (to show whether you have heart disease), and a blood test. Accurate diagnosis is important because asthma is treated...
Airway responsiveness and peak flow variability in the diagnosis of asthma for epidemiological studies. Eur Respir J 2001; 18(6): 921–7Lewis SA, Weiss ST, Britton JR: Airway responsiveness and peak flow variability in the diagnosis of asthma for epidemiological studies. Eur Respir J 2001, 18...
peak flow measurement below 50% predicted or the patient's personal best is considered severe, while between 50% and 70% is considered moderate. Chest radiographs are not uniformly necessary unless the diagnosis of acute asthma exacerbation is uncertain, the patient requires hospitalization, or ...
Peak flow meter with questionnaire and mini-spirometer are considered as alternative tools to spirometry for screening of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. However, the accuracy of these tools together, in clinical settings for disease diagnosis, has not been studied. Two hundred consecu...
Peak expiratory flow monitoring is not a reliable method for establishing the diagnosis of occupational asthma. This is a study of the reliability of peak expiratory flow (PEF) monitoring using a portable computerized peak flow meter, the VMX Mini-log, in 17 subjects... S Quirce,G Contreras,...
Peak Flow Test This test isn’t involved in the initial diagnosis of asthma as much as the management of the condition. Apeak flow meteris a handheld device that measures how well air is moving in and out of your lungs. You blow a quick blast of air into the mouthpiece and get a read...
Asthma Diagnosis If you think you have asthma, see your doctor. They may refer you to a lung doctor, called a pulmonologist, or an allergy and immunology specialist. The doctor will start with a physical exam and ask about your symptoms and medical history. ...
