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
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...
flow variations that these impulses impose to the respiratory system, to be able to calculate the impedance (Zrs) a concept that encompasses both the “resistance” (Rrs) and the Reactance (Xrs) of the respiratory system. Though less data are available due to the newness of the technique, ...
With a handheld peak inspiratory flow (PIF) meter (In-Check DIAL ), the internal resistance of the Diskus (DKR) and the Turbuhaler (THR) can be simulated by means of calibrated resistances. This study investigated whether patients with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease could generat...
We know the "ique" spelling from the likes of technique, antique, and unique, but pique nonetheless looks a little exotic. It comes from a French word meaning literally "to prick," but its earliest English use was as a noun. The noun is still used: a pique is a transient feeling of...

The most satisfactory technique for delivery of a designated inspired oxygen concentration is to mix the required proportions of air and oxygen. Gas mixtures are conveniently obtained from air and oxygen pipeline installations with appropriate humidification. A pair of rotameters may be used, and Figu...
