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...
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...
The aims of this study were to compare the efficacy of 1-year peak expiratory flow (PEF)based self-management of asthma against conventional treatment and to analyze the long-term effectiveness of self-management. Eighty adult patients with persistent asthma (group B). After 1 year, significant...

The aim was to investigate the effects of the 3-h mean concentration of suspended particulate matter (SPM) on peak expiratory flow (PEF) in asthmatic children. Subjects were 4- to 11-year-old boys and girls with asthma in Fukuoka, Japan. Daily measurements of PEF were made between April ...
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...
