Peak flow meter
Asthma is a chronic, inflammatory lung disease that may or may not be triggered by allergens. The air passages within the lungs are constantly swollen, restricting the amount of air allowed to pass through the trachea. Asthmatics have recurrent breathing problems and a tendency to cough and wheeze.While there is currently no cure for asthma, proper treatment and management can help alleviate symptoms.
A peak flow meter helps patients monitor their asthma and prepare for asthmatic exacerbations. This portable device measures how well the lungs are able to expel air.
