The Wrights peak flow meter with a standard EU scale used for the assessment of flow rate an indicater of Asthma and other pulmonary conditions . Most peak flow meters are small, hand-held and light in weight.
Suitable for home and clinic use.
Provides lower peak expiratory flow values. The meter is tubular with a spring-loaded piston and a longitudinal slot through which air escapes. Its dynamic characteristics have been carefully designed to make it respond only to peak flow and not to rate of rise.
Performance tests on early . It measures the airflow through the bronchi and thus the degree of obstruction in the . Clinical assessments of the degree of airway obstruction in asthma are known to be unreliable. Objective measurements of pulmonary function are essential to assessing the severity of asthma.
The peak flow meter can detect changes in the airway at very early stages offering you the opportunity to halt the progression of an attack before it interferes with activities. The confidence limits for flow measurement across the range of the new meters was between ± 1min −at the lower end of the range and ± 2min −at the top of the range. One hundred adult patients were arbitrarily divided into two groups, based on their average peak flow on the mini- Wright device.
A strong positive correlation in excess of 0. It provides an important early warning of asthma onset. Early problems in production appear to have been overcome, and the current model agrees to within with the standard peak flow meter , which is as close as the agreement between two standard instruments.
