Danielle Lambert/asthma patient “This little device is a big improvement on the dumb devices you are usually given. Firstly it records all the measurements so you can easily see from the app whether the trend is up or down. It is also more accurate. I compared my smart peak flow readings...
How peak flow meter can be used at home? The peak flow meter is a handheld device that is used to measure the peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR). This is the maximum amount of air that you can exhale in one breath. The peak flow meter can be used to monitor your asthma and to see...
peak flow techniquepeak flow meterasthma managementBackground. Guidelines for the Diagnoses and Management of Asthma recommend that the peak flow meter should be used in a standing position. Objective. To determine whether the peak expiratory flow (PEF) varies with the position of the subject and ...
Peak expiratory flow rate is the measurement of how much the patient can blow out of their lungs in one breath. It is a crude measurement and not as accurate as Spirometry. However it is useful for patients to perform themselves, especially when they are
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...
PEFR is a valuable, useful, and easy-to-obtain parameter in asthma control and management. You can also use a peak flow chart to find your normal peak flow value. At the end of the text, you can also read a short set of instructions on how to use a peak flow meter and obtain the...

We concluded that carpeted classroom floors do not contribute to asthma symptom severity, possibly because of the low levels of Der p I on them. 展开 关键词: asthma bedroom children Der p I dust mites peak expiratory flow variability school ...
In conclusion, IOS is a highly sensitive technique in respect to asthma diagnosis and monitoring, providing complementary information to that obtained through conventionalrespiratory functiontechniques such as spirometry in all age groups during childhood; while its use is increasing mostly in specialized ...
A previous study evaluating inhaler technique and asthma control as part of the UK IMPACT (Improving the Management of Patients Asthma and COPD Treatment) asthma review service also reported that approximately a third of patients failed the pMDI inspiratory flow criteria (10-50 L/min) after ...
