Regular monitoring of patients’ peak flow is extremely useful for controlling diseases of the airways, such as asthma and chronic bronchitis.
Physicians and patients can find asthma attack triggers such as allergies and dusty environments, then choose the proper therapy.
Only with a peak flow monitor can modern asthma control plans be followed. The monitor gives the patient better, earlier and more objective information, to find breathing problems before wheezing and coughing begins.
