A small, handheld device is known as a peak flow meter is used to measure the peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) of a person's breath. It measures the maximum speed at which air is forced out of the lungs during a forceful exhale. A peak flow meter is often used to monitor the breathing function of people with asthma or other lung conditions. The device can help identify changes in breathing function and guide adjustments to medication dosages or other treatments. It is easy to use and can be done at home, making it a useful tool for managing respiratory conditions.
