Peak Flow Test
A peak flow test measures the maximum speed of exhalation, helping to monitor lung function in conditions like asthma. During a peak flow test, patients blow into a handheld device, producing readings that indicate airway constriction. Regular testing assists in managing respiratory health and adjusting treatment plans.
