peakflowmittauksia
Peak flow measurements, also known as peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) measurements, are a simple and non-invasive method used to monitor and assess the function of the lungs. This technique is particularly valuable in the management of asthma and other respiratory conditions. The measurement involves the patient exhaling as forcefully and quickly as possible into a peak flow meter, which records the highest airflow rate achieved. The results are typically expressed in liters per minute (L/min).
Peak flow measurements are often used to track the severity of asthma symptoms and the effectiveness of
The American Thoracic Society and the European Respiratory Society have established guidelines for the use of
Peak flow measurements are a useful tool for asthma management, but they should be used in conjunction
