peak flow
Lung output gauge
Peak flow is a measurement of how fast air can be expelled from the lungs in a single breath, used to monitor respiratory conditions like asthma.
A peak flow meter is a handheld device patients use at home to track lung function: My peak flow readings have been low all week.
Doctors use the numbers to adjust treatment plans.
