A peak flow meter or peak flow meter (PFM) is a device used to measure the volume of air a person breathes out as a measurement of pulmonary function. A peak flow meter is a device used in the diagnosis and treatment of respiratory disorders such as asthma. This device measures the ...
AsthmalungfunctionspirometrymeasurementThis article describes the systematic design of an electronic recording peak expiratory flow (PEF) meter to provide accurate data for the diagnosis of occupational asthma. Traditional diagnosis of asthma relies on accurate data of PEF tests performed by the patients ...
Home-monitoring of peak expiratory flow rate using the mini-Wright peak flow meter is a useful technique for determining whether or not unexplained respiratory symptoms are caused by asthma. It is of particular value when airflow obstruction cannot be demonstrated at the time of consultation.关键词...
Peak expiratory flow (PEF) is a simple measure of the maximal flow rate that can be achieved during forceful expiration following full inspiration.14 Although less reliable than spirometry, PEF measurement aids in asthma diagnosis and monitoring, seen especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, due to...

picking pace in Asia Pacific region, owing to increasing population and increasing number of people suffering from asthma and COPD. The increasing government initiatives and favorable reimbursement for the diagnosis of respiratory diseases, provides an opportunity for the growth of peak flow meters ...
This study was conducted to evaluate whether forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) for the diagnosis of bronchial reactivity by means of the free-running exercise test and bronchodilator inhalation, could be appropriately replaced by simple measurements of peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) in ...

A particular case is occupational asthma, where measurements should be done on workdays as well as during weekends and holidays — using a peak flow meter allows the physician to compare the measurements, and helps to state the right diagnosis. The lung function may also be estimated using ...
