The peak expiratory flow rate or peak flow is a measurement of the maximum speed of expiration, starting from full lung inflation. It is a useful aid for assessing the degree of large airway obstruction.

2018年5月26日 · 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 having a flare up of their respiratory disease such as asthma.

Advise the patient to take regular peak flow readings, ideally each morning and night, recording them in a peak flow diary. Explain that these readings can then be reviewed to make informed decisions about their asthma treatment.

Peak Flow Meter PFM or now termed as Peak Expiratory Flow Rate is another simplest skill you might get to demonstrate for your NMC OSCE Exam. Time limit is changed to 8 minutes from previous 15 minutes. During this eight minutes you need to introduce peak flow meter to patient, demonstrate its use, return demonstration […]
