PeakFlowMessungen
PeakFlowMessungen, also known as peak expiratory flow (PEF) measurements, are a simple pulmonary function test used to assess how quickly a person can expel air from their lungs. This measurement is particularly valuable in the management of asthma and other obstructive lung diseases. A peak flow meter is a handheld device that measures the maximum speed of airflow during a forced exhalation. The test involves taking a deep breath and then blowing out as hard and fast as possible into the meter. The result is a numerical value, typically recorded in liters per minute (L/min).
Regular peak flow monitoring can help individuals and their healthcare providers track lung function over time
