peak flow monitoring

Peak flow monitoring measures how quickly a person can force air out of their lungs with a blow from a device called a peak flow meter. It helps track lung function over time, especially for people with asthma or other breathing conditions. By regularly checking peak flow readings, individuals and healthcare providers can identify early signs of worsening lung health, allowing timely adjustments to treatment and preventing severe attacks. It's a simple, portable tool that provides valuable information about airway openness and breathing efficiency.
