A Peak Flow Meter is a simple, handheld device that measures how quickly you can push air out of your lungs. This measurement, known as your peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR), is a key indicator of how well your lungs are functioning at any given point in time.
It's particularly useful for people with asthma, as changes in peak flow can signal an impending asthma attack even before you feel symptoms.
When you blow into the device, it measures the force of your exhalation. The force is directly related to how open your airways are. The scale on the meter’s body indicates the litres of air breathed out per minute (l/min).
If your airways are narrowed due to asthma or another condition, your peak flow reading will be lower than usual. By taking regular measurements, you can establish your normal peak flow, your 'personal best'. This becomes your benchmark, helping you and your healthcare provider spot any changes in your lung function.
Asthma attacks often come with early warning signs, like a cough and breathlessness. Peak flow meters provide a clear, objective way to understand early warning signs of asthma so you can take precautions.
Peak Flow Meters are widely beneficial for people with moderate to severe asthma. They can help you:
Detect early warning signs of an asthma attack
Monitor how well your asthma medications are working
Decide when to seek emergency care
Even if you don't have asthma, a Peak Flow Meter may be useful if you have other respiratory conditions that affect your breathing. These commonly include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchitis, emphysema, or cystic fibrosis.
It's a great tool for anyone who wants to monitor their lung health closely. It's even used to help athletes monitor their general health and performance levels.
Using your Peak Flow Meter is simple, but it's important to do it correctly to get accurate readings. Here's a step-by-step guide:
Stand up straight if you can – this helps you take a deep breath.
Make sure the marker on the meter is at the bottom of the scale.
Take a deep breath, filling your lungs completely.
Put the mouthpiece in your mouth and close your lips tightly around it.
Blow out as hard and fast as you can in one quick blast.
Note the number where the marker lands.
Repeat this process three times and record the highest number.
It's best to use your Peak Flow Meter at the same time each day, typically in the morning, before you take any medicines. This helps you spot any patterns or changes in your lung function.
Your Peak Flow readings can be categorised into three zones, often described using a traffic light system:
Green Zone (80-100% of your personal best): The green zone indicates that your asthma is currently well-controlled. Keep up your current management plan. If it’s creeping towards the end of the scale, take a reading at your next regular interval or before.
Yellow Zone (50-80% of your personal best): The yellow zone shows that your asthma may be worsening. You might need to adjust your medicines or take precautions as per your asthma action plan.
Red Zone (below 50% of your personal best): This indicates an emergency. Use your reliever inhaler and seek medical help immediately.
Remember, these zones are personalised to you based on your 'personal best' peak flow.
Don’t be alarmed if your peak flow fluctuates. The American Lung Association states that normal peak flow rates can fluctuate by up to 20%. This is why you have different zones to help you compare your peak flow to a benchmark.
While Peak Flow Meters are incredibly useful, they're not for everyone. You might want to consider using one if:
You have moderate to severe asthma
Your asthma symptoms are unpredictable
You're starting a new asthma medicine
You want to monitor your lung function closely
However, if you have very mild, well-controlled asthma, a peak flow meter might not be necessary, but it can still be useful. After all, these tools are simple and inexpensive. They provide an easy method for monitoring your lung functionality yourself, in your own space and your own time.
