First Aid
A peak flow meter is a handheld device used to measure the maximum speed of expiration, which helps assess lung function, particularly in individuals with asthma. It provides a simple and quick way to monitor respiratory conditions, allowing patients to track their peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) and recognize any changes that may indicate worsening asthma or an impending attack.
