This text provides a practical introduction to peak flow
measurement, its indications, uses and benefits, and associated
problems.;Asthma is a very common condition affecting at least 12
per cent of schoolchildren and 5 per cent of adults. Recent
guidelines proposed by the British Thoracic Society for the
management of chronic and acute asthma recommend the domiciliary
use of the peak flow meter to assist doctors in the management of
the condition, as well as helping the patient manage his or her own
asthma flow. This illustrated guide gives the doctor instructions
on the correct use of the meter as well as providing information on
the benefits and limitations of the test. Worked case histories and
"real" examples of classical peak flow histories can be found
throughout the text. It should be of use to respiratory physicians,
general practitioners, practice nurses, physiotherapists and other
health professionals involved in the day-to-day care of asthma
patients.
